So with no hockey we've turned into a family of skiers! We bought a season family pass (and a season family rental package) to the local hill. Josh and Andrew had never been skiing before in their lives, but we figured that with their experience skating they'd pick it up right away. And sure enough they did. We've been going 2-3 times per week for the past month and a half.
My youngest Josh (7) though fell the very first time he got off a chairlift. Ever since then despite being absolutely fearless going down the hill, he's insisted on holding my hand when we get off the chairlift together.
I have been trying to encourage him to not hold my hand as he got off but he still wanted to hold hands - which meant I had to go up with him each time.
But last night after going up with me several times he asked if he could go up the chairlift by himself - I said sure and then he was gone in a flash, got on the lift by himself and got down just as quick.
This from the little guy who cried when I left for work on Monday when he still wasn't up and thus didn't get to see me off.
