Snowtubing & Skiing

It's almost spring so let me finish blogging about this past winter. We had a wonderful opportunity to go away to PA to snowtube and ski for the first time as a family during the President's week vacation. We went with a wonderful family, the Lees. Here's Lauren, Justin and Tyler waiting to snowtube. They were so excited! This place had perfect hills for toddlers to go up and down to snowtube. The parents and Lauren had a great workout from taking the snowtube up the hill after each ride. =)

Justin loved every minute of snowtubing. He's quite the daredevil and loved the thrill of sliding down the hill.




After sliding down, Justin would flip himself out of the snowtube. I don't know why but he had a blast doing it.



The first day of our trip fell on my birthday and the Lee family surprised me with a birthday cake. Thank you Susan! The cake was so delicious. It was even sweeter to share my birthday with you and your family.

The next day we went to Shawnee Mountain and took the kids skiing. It was the very first time for Tyler. Here's Tyler getting his ski boots.

Look at these kids! They are so cool posing with their skis.


Since it's always harder to teach your own child, Susan graciously taught Tyler the basics of skiing. Thank you for your patience with Tyler. It's because of you Tyler had the courage to ski on the bunny slope. Surprisingly, Tyler picked it up faster than I thought he would. It's too bad we went so late in the ski season. Next winter we will definitely start early so that Tyler can take advantage of the whole season. I"m so proud of you Tyler for giving it a try and learning so quickly. Maybe you can teach Justin next year.


Tyler was so comfortable at the end of the day on his skis. I hope he still has the same enthusiasm the next time we go. Here's a video of Tyler skiing on his own. Amazing! I guess I'm a bit biased though. =)
