He'll do anything for hot chocolate

Yesterday Keaton had his first ski lesson!  I grew up skiing every week at Stevens Pass and it was something that so many of my friends also did.  I hope Keaton likes it because I'd love to get back into skiing again.  I'll have to get a job to afford it though.  You know you are old when you remember when lift tickets were $10.  They are A LOT more now.  Luckily we don't have to pay for a ticket when he's doing lessons.

His lessons are only a couple of hours and then they have lunch (and hot chocolate which he was really looking forward to).  I was so impressed with the kid in the black shirt.  He was 10 and was so great with Keaton and Camden at lunch.  It's great to see when older kids are so nice to the younger ones!  He taught the boys a new hand shake.

They encourage the kids to go back out after lunch to practice what they learned in lessons. They have this thing called the "magic carpet" that takes the kids to the top of the practice hill.  They never had this when I was younger.  You had to climb to the top of these little hills.  Keaton is the second kid in the red/black outfit.

I was so impressed with how well Keaton did on his first day.  And how brave he was.  Keaton can be a little timid when he tries new things but he was confident, didn't get upset when he fell and wasn't scared when he went really fast and then crashed.  I think he might already be a better skier than Grandpa Morgan!
