Ski Season

Benjer and me on the ski lift. I held on to him so tight!

We bought ski passes last spring that are good for this year as well. Last year we took Britton up but Benjer was only 2 so we left him home. This year we thought we would try the little guy on the hill. We knew it would either go really well, or really bad. We took him up yesterday and it went really well! He is fearless. Unfortunately he doesn't know how to stop! We had him hold on to my pole or I held his hand while we went down the hill. Benjamin even went on the smallest chair lift. It's nice to know we can take the whole family up. We were surprised at how well Benjer did, but when he was done, he was done. He told me he was tired and that was the end of skiing for him. It took us about 20 minutes to get to the lodge, and we weren't that far away. Britton picked right back up where he left off too. Unfortunately, we forgot that Britton's season pass was on his coat from last year. We didn't notice until Dustin and Britton were going on one of the bigger chair lifts, and they asked to see his pass. Luckily we were done skiing at that point. We're glad it took them two hours to notice the missing pass! We're looking forward to a lot more skiing this winter.
