Skiing

We made the long journey to Taos, NM to take Drew skiing for the first time. It wasn't hard to convince Brett that we should go. He LOVES to ski and is hoping Drew will also have a love of it. No worries, I think that we have Drew hooked. He had a great time. We stayed in the town of Taos and skied at a little resort called Sipapu.

Brett trying to give Drew some lessons. We won't try this again. Next time we will definitely splurge for lessons. But Drew had a great time "skiing" with Brett. Brett did all the work and Drew got the benefits. Drew loves telling how fast HE went down the mountain and how HE made some jumps.

Here he is trying out the bunny hill. And it is snowing.

It snowed on us quite a bit. Everything was really beautiful. The trees were so picturesque with snow in their branches.

Pretty view

Isn't he cute in all his gear?

Making a snow angel outside our motel. Drew had just as much fun playing in the snow as he did skiing.

We stopped to have a "snow picnic". We tried to make a snowman, threw snowballs at each other and had a great time playing in the soft powder.

He loved eating the snow!

Drew took our picture

Sitting by the roaring fire. A good way to end the day!

This fire was huge and Drew could have sat there all day, except that his love of fires seems to be eclipsed by his love of skiing. Mom, I thought of you and knew you would have enjoyed this part of skiing!
