In search of some adventure…

We took Simon cross country skiing for the first time.  You may be thinking how does a baby ski?
In reality Simon did not ski, in fact I think he slept through the entire experience. He was just bundled up and carried in the sling by Myles.

For those of you who are not familiar with the sport this is not some extreme downhill  craziness. In fact the way we do it, its more like a leisurely walk through the woods. So don’t be alarmed we did not ride with Simon on the chair lift and then go hurdling down some steep incline.

see how relaxed and comfortable Simon is!
We were susposed to do this back on my birthday and everyone thought I was crazy to go skiing while pregnant. Unfortunately Myles was sent to Korea to fix a problem airplane  so the trip was postponed until now. (For the record this is the second year in a row that Boeing has ruined my birthday) 

All the other skiers thought it was great that we had Simon out.  "Get them started while they are young" everyone said.

Simon was totally relaxed almost the entire trip, that is until the end when Myles took off his ski and picked it up. A chunk of snow fell off it and landed right on Simon’s face. Simon fussed just until I removed the offending snow. It reminded of me of playing in the snow with my little brother when we were kids. I would try to get as much snow down the back of his snowsuit as possible.   He would usually stand there with his arms outstretched, red faced, and screaming. Just for the record Mark, Simon was a much better sport about having cold snow on his bare skin then you ever were.

And for fun here is a quick family snap shot taken with the tri-pod and self timer. I don’t know what is up with our goofy  expressions  – you get what you get with the self  timer.
