We're back in action!

Woo Hoo! After 2 long months of no computer, we finally bought a new one (and went wireless). Now I can post again. So, to play catch up visit the photo albums to the right. As for the present, today we took the boys to Mt. Hood Meadows to ski for the day. We figured that since Paige is still getting the walking thing down (note the the bruise on her forehead) it wouldn't be fair to strap a pair of skis to her feet yet, so she stayed behind with the grandparents.

Riley was on his own from the first run. He was definately ready for the lifts, but unfortunately mom and dad didn't plan on that so we didn't have the right lift tickets. Dad even offered a bribe to the lift operator and was shot down!

Reed tried to keep up with Riley, but the closest he got to independence was holding mom's hand and skiing side by side.

I guess rope tows are a thing of the past because now they have this conveyor belt called "The Magic Carpet" that you ride up the hill. It's a bit rough, especially when someone falls and they have to abruptly stop it!

Reed really liked his skis, but it was a bit of a challenge to find a pair small enough to fit a 2 1/2 yr old!

Reed had such a hard day of skiing that he passed out on the bus back to our car in the parking lot!
