Morgan finally enjoys the snow!


Sledding with Chay


Plowing the slide


Sled ride to the park in Frisco

Doug and I have slowly and successfully been exposing Morgan to activities we enjoyed together. So far Morgan loves going to the pool and he's also pretty excited about hiking. We've made great progress with traveling and eating out. The one "situation" was the snow! A rather large "situation" since we live in Colorado and Doug and I have historically enjoyed snow sports. Last winter we tried hard. We attempted to snowshoe and cross country ski with Morgan on the sled. Both attempts did not last long and involved lots of screaming (from Morgan, although Doug and I were tempted to join in).

So I can't even begin to tell you what a relief it was when Morgan decided this year that the snow could be fun! We spent Thanksgiving in the mountains and while we were there mother nature unleashed about a foot of snow. We pulled him on the sled to the park where he proceeded to play on the snow covered structure. We even sledded down a small hill and tossed snowballs. A few weekends later, the snow arrived in Boulder. He successfully tramped around the cul-de-sac on his skis and had fun with his neighbor buddy Chay.

It may be a few years before we have the full day resort ski days or move on to long cross country or snowshoe ski days but we're getting there!
