Ski Bunny

Since having children, Scott and I have been looking forward to taking them skiing. Prior to kids, we usually took an annual ski vacation and tried to go locally when we could. Well, today was our first day back to the mountains since getting pregnant with Tatum (Owen stayed home with Grandma Cheryl) and we could not have asked for a more beautiful day. It was perfect spring skiing conditions!
Scott and I were fairly certain Tatum would have fun because of her fearless attitude and "balls to the walls" mentality...boy were we right! After getting to the mountain it wasn't long before she began asking to go on the "chair". After about a half hour or so of getting comfortable on her skis, Tatum and Daddy went on Daisy. The smile on her face was gigantic! Scott said the lift operator commented that hers was the biggest smile he'd seen in a long time. The whole way down, Scott said Tate was laughing and continually asked to go faster. They took about four or five runs before Tatum wanted a break. We had such a fantastic time today, we hope to get in a day or two more of spring skiing before the season closes.

this so reminds me of when Brandi was little and learning how to ski. Fearless----until she went over a little cliff and down about 10 feet. Boy could she ever snow plow after that! Great control!
