Van's Second Ski

I took Van to the Service trails tonight. We started out at the soccer field, I thought we might just go around the field, but he immediately wanted to go down a hill. 

We ended up doing a small loop. It was maybe a kilometer, it took us almost an hour, but we had so much fun doing it! I was really impressed at how much he seemed to enjoy it. I had been prepared for him to be bored and/or cold after 10 mins, but he was happy as a clam. He even tried to run on his skis, he'd laugh and say, "look how fast I am!"

For going down the hills I would hold his shoulders and snowplow with my legs outside of his. We could get going pretty fast and if he lost his balance I could easily just pick him up.  He really enjoyed that.

He was a little concerned about crocodiles in the woods and at one point he saw some animal tracks and said, 'Aren't those tiger tracks?' but he didn't seem too scared. And when it was done, I was surprised that I actually had to coax him back into the car, it was about 0 degrees out!









This picture shows a little of Esther as well :)
