Family Fun Time!

Scott has wanted to take his nephew Riley skiing for a few years. Now that he has turned 4 he thought that was the perfect age to start him! So we started out by getting him used to the idea (because he isn't one for spontaneity) by showing him Scott skies and then getting a small pair of skies for him. He had watched an episode of Curious George where George went skiing and that really got him excited! So we were finally ready to take him up and it turned into a family event! We got Scott's dad to go up and hit the slopes after 9 years of not skiing! I think he loved it! Will and Keri also came up to join in the fun. I would say Riley is a natural! He picked up on everything really quick and did really well

Going up the tow rope for the first time!

 On the Bunny Hill!

 First crash

 Go Riley Go!

 .... That is.... Until Janette got there with Jersey and Grandma about 45 mins after we started... After that is was to hard or to slippery. Funny how kids are like that. But we did get him to go down a couple more times with mom there to watch! Uncle Scott was suck a great teacher! I love watching him teach cuz he's just so good at it and patient. I'm excited for him to start teaching our own kids someday!

Grandpa going up the lift for the first time in 9 years with Will!! YAY!!!

 It ended up being a lot of fun! I even got on a pair of skies and did a few runs on the beginner hill!

For Valentines this year we decided to keep it simple and cheap. So I decided to make Scott an awesome candy bar poster and surprised him with it after he got home from work!\

 Then we went out to eat at Canton! (Because I seem to be craving Chinese every once in awhile with this baby and all) It was very good! After Chinese Scott surprised me with a chocolate fondue fountain by candle light!

 Yum!!!

With marshmallows and strawberries to dip in the freshly melted yummy chocolate! (Strawberries... another thing I think is especially good at the moment) It was so good and I was very surprised! It was a lot of fun and we had a good simple Valentines :)
