first snow

One of my favorite firsts.  The snow is so magical and it has all of the qualities to make it K.'s favorite thing.
1. it is outside
2. you can throw it
3. you can kick it
4. You can drive a car on it or over it
5. it won't throw you or kick you back

What more could you want?  K. saw his first real snow on our little mini family vacation.  Well, to be fair, this is actually his first encounter of snow on the vacation.

 But, the first REAL snow, and my kiddo got on skiis.

 Well, to be fair, he got on skis after he rolled in the snow for about 20 minutes.  Then, it took his dad and grandfather both  getting on skis before he would even look at the long sticks that attach to a foot.

But, once he did, he skied his little slope over and over and over and over.  He went down the slope and up the slope.  He went side to side on the slope.  He got in the way of the real skiers on the slope.  He got about 100 "awww, he is so cute" comments.  He made a mom, dad, and former Colorado living uncle VERY proud.
