Liam shows off his crazy skills!

After fighting the stomach bug for 4 days and putting off our trip to Crystal for 3 (sold it on Craigslist – phew!), we finally were able to head up to Crystal mountain last Sunday. We were up to the mountain by 10 and met Jen and Jesse at their absolutely perfect ski in ski out apartment. They had a babysitter who offered to watch Skyler along with Noah so Liam, Leif and I could ski together. We thought about putting Liam in a lesson however that did not work out the greatest since you have to be 4 years old and when Leif told the front desk woman that Liam was 4, Liam threw a huge fit screaming at Leif that he was only 3! So instead, we plopped Liam in between us on the chair lift and rode up the bunny hill. Leif started out by putting Liam between his legs but it only took a half of run for Liam to be off by himself! He absolutely LOVED it! He would giggle the whole way down and when he fell, he would laugh hysterically. Leif and I were beaming – silly smiles from ear to ear the whole time!

That afternoon, Leif watched the kids and I got to ski for a couple hours with Jesse. That night, Jen, Jesse and Noah came over to our little cabin at Alta Crystal where we ate enchiladas and mostly talked about the kids – funny how life has changed for us all!

The next morning, Leif headed out to ski a couple hours in the morning and then he took Liam up the gondola to ski Liam’s first “Top to Bottom.” He said Liam had a blast! Skyler and I hung out in the lodge – a hot cocoa for Skyler, a glass of wine for mom! So fun.
