The Day We've All Been Waiting For

Even before Rylee was born Ben talked about how excited he was to take her skiing and teach her from a young age. Last season I was barely able to talk him out of taking her up but now that she is 2 there was no stopping him.

I talked to him on the phone as he was getting off work to come get us and he was telling me about the skis he borrowed for Rylee. He said, "They are so small, it just makes you want to cry". Needless to say, this was a huge day for Ben, and maybe Rylee too :) Grandma Jill came all the way up to see the big event and we are really happy to say, Rylee had a great time and even wants to go again!












They went down the tow rope run twice then Ben decided she was ready for a blue run. Up the lift they went as a very worried mother snapped a shot. You can barely see her skis hanging down off the chair :)














Ben is such a great dad, I am so grateful for him and his love for the outdoors. I hope all our kids will grow up with his appreciation for Heavenly Fathers beautiful creations. Im glad that he is willing to put the time and effort it takes to teach them new skills and build their self esteem.

On a side note: Ben got me a fabulous new camera for Christmas that has provided these great action shots and the video below. YEY!
