Boarding

Finally warming up around here, today it was 35 degrees with little wind.  Half day of school meant a half day of snowboarding with dad.  Parker had fun on the hill and really improved at riding with some speed.  He even tried his toe edge a few times.  It was cool to be out there with him and watch him get better in a matter of hours.  Definitely doing more half days during the week next year, we never had to wait in line to get on the lift.  3 straight hours of riding.  He even found $5 at the top of the hill.

Sunny, a little colder out but we were able to bring Parker's friend Jacob.  The boys spent the whole day at the Learning Hill b/c it was Jacob's first time snowboarding.  After about 5 times down they got the hang of it and spent the next 2 hours going up and down without my help.  Parker kept working on his S turns and Jacob worked on slowing down without sitting down.  They definitely had fun.  We even got to watch a few people attempt to cruise over the "water puddle", no way I would try that b/c if you don't make it, you end up swimming in fully gear in water that is near freezing.
