Had the best weekend
It started with Carter playing soccer in a tournament in the rain – OK, that part wasn’t that good. We then took both kids skating. I was Carters second time and Haleys first and my first time in 20 years. It was a blast and Haley really liked it. Carter used a chair which helped him keep balance while he skated around. We held Haley’s hand and she loved it. – OK, that part wasn’t that good. We then took both kids skating. I was Carters second time and Haleys first and my first time in 20 years.

I did OK for being away from it for so long – my ankles were a bit weak and my back was killing me from bending over holding the kids.
Movie Review: Walk the line – 7.5/10 – I liked this movie a lot and thought the acting and story was really well done. Reese and Joaquin were a great June and Johnny Cash. I put on my Johnny Cash’s greatest hits all day getting into it. That phase ended fortunately when I put on the New Daughtry CD (the guy from American Idol.
Ski Day
I’ve wanted to take Carter skiing for some time and decided that Sunday was the day he goes skiing for his first time. We went to Cypress Mountain and he took lessons from 10:30-12:15. We cut it short 15 minutes as he was tired and hungry. He wanted to go home at that point. The lessons were great though – they have this little 50 foot hill with a conveyor belt which brings the kids up and down. Lots of staff helping out. I was nervous about Carter wanting to leave as I just spent 2 hours watching him and I wanted to ski too.
We had lunch and relaxed for an hour and then I took him to the Chairlift.He rode the chairlift no problem and when we got to the top he was a bit apprehensive. This was a real hill now and he can’t turn or stop. Together we made it down and I convinced him to try again. This time I made him hold my poles and we went together me holding him and getting him to turn. That was great and we did it again and went faster and faster together and he loved it. Just like me, he loves the speed. He then went on his own and he was great. He turned and then bombed straight down the lower part and I was freaking out how he was going to stop but he pulled out his snowplow and came to stop just before running into people in the line. Afterwards he said it “Rocked”.
We stayed on the mountain and went up and down the hill about 40 times non stop until 6PM when I was exhausted. Skiing seems like it’s his thing and I can’t wait to go again.
