The Little Skier Boy

We went skiing today.  The mountain estate is rented, so we had to make a day-trip up to Breckenridge.  It wasn't awful, but we'd certainly prefer to be staying in Blue River during this prime ski season.  We left early, and had a nice easy drive up to the mountains.  We arrived just as the lifts were opening and paused for a quick photo inside.

Ashley and I are getting used to skiing with Bode.  He's been to a lot of lessons at ski-school, and he's getting to the point where we all have a good time skiing together.  Granted, we aren't doing the really steep runs at the top of the mountain, but it certainly is fun watching Bode get better and better each time we go.  I took a couple pictures at the top of the lift.

You gotta love Bode's hat--it makes him easy to find on the mountain.  I also tried to take a some action photos...

but none of them really turned out well, as shown above.  I did hurry ahead of the group and take the following movie.

We all had a great time skiing.  We will be staying at the estate for a few days after the New Year.  Only two more days until Santa comes!
