Skiing take 2

Ethan's 2nd day skiing was at Monarch this Saturday. He was SO excited for the chair lift and did awesome riding it.

We got pumped up for the day by jamming out to "Roof Down" by the Beastie Boys. It's his favorite song in Mike's truck. in my car it's the YaYa song by Buckwheat Zydeco



Mike got some fun video of Ethan skiing - this time we used a harness. He is definitely getting better and made it 5 runs (vs. 3 last time). He keeps his skis together better. Except he has found the fun in being "wobbly" and tipping back and forth saying "whoa - whoa -whoa - crash!" when he falls to the snow and I have to pick him back up again - all the while both of us are laughing! There was a minor melt down on the last run - but that's okay, the important part was that still at the end of the day he said he had fun! We're going to try again at Copper this Saturday. It's awesome to watch him and listen to him and Mike is even so excited to see him! Mike might try to find some skis as he's bummed he can't be there to help him. Our boy rocks!!

LOVE the video. But Ondrea, clearly you are not the Beasties fan that I am, because the song is "Root Down" ;).
Ethan is a man after my own heart!
