Skiing on MLK Jr. Day






Since Matt had to work, Ash took all three boys plus Spencer's friend skiing in McCall for the day. It was Willy's first day, so we spent the whole day on the bunny hill. Will wanted Mom's help all the time, and Mitchell and Spencer wanted no help at all, so it worked out great. Mitch and Will were wiped out at lunch so they napped on the floor of the lodge, then woke up and skied some more. The guys running the chairlift decided it would be "fun" to make a jump for the kids, so they shovelled some piles of snow, pounded down a ramp, and for the entire afternoon, the boys kept going off it, over and over. It was tiny, but the boys felt pretty cool. Spencer kept saying, "What a dream!" When Mitch saw it, without hesitation he wanted to go off it, too. I don't think he landed it once, but he kept trying. He loved it. It was a really fun day.
