Caden Carving It Up

In January we decided to take the plunge and finally teach Caden how to ski. We are so spoiled, Branson's parents are ski patrollers up at Wolf Mountain so we get free lift passes. And they helped us entertain the little ones in the lodge all afternoon.

Here he is with the skis just put on, ready to hit the slopes!

I was surprised at how quickly he caught on. He loved every second on the hill.

Branson taught Caden all morning. I did it this once and Caden would go so fast it terrified me, so I let Dad back at it. I think the rope gave Caden a lot of confidence just knowing someone had hold of him.

Brans and I snuck off for a run on our own.

Riding the lift with Grandpa!

Thanks so much G&G we had such an awesome day and can't wait to go again this weekend. We were so proud of Caden. We'll see if we can get him to go down the mountain without the rope this weekend.

Love it! We need to take Dillon. I think we'll start next year when he is 5 though. Looks like Cade loved it!

Impressive! We've been trying to convince Alissa to do it, but she's too chicken haha

Jealous! we want to take our kiddos skiing but the price and lack of help with the little ones around here is holding us back. Any extra passes laying around?? Glad you guys had a fun day skiing, and at the zoo, and Happy birthday Caden! Isabel turned 6 in January...they are so big!
