First Snowboarding Trip






Cannon decided with all the snow this year, it would be great for our boys to start learning how to snowboard. They went up to Snowbowl in Flagstaff leaving our house at 5:30am. Dad, Ry, Coop and Dane were off to try this out. I stayed home with Colter & Bryson (we had a great day of shopping). Cannon really wanted me to go, but I told him this is the last year we would have a baby, and I would be good to go for the next 50+ years.
They boys had a great time. Dane & Cooper were in school together all day. They loved their instructor Brent. At 3pm, they finally got to try it out with Dad & Ry. They made it about 1/2 down the hill and they were DONE!! Snowboarding had taken a toll on them after all day. Ryland was in class 1/2 day and then got to join his dad on the slopes. Dad decided to stick with the skiing, and not try out the snowboarding thing. It was a gorgeous day. They sun was shining brightly, and Cannon's face proves it. (I will have to add picture later). I have seen him with a sun burn many times, but never this bad. His face is already blistering. Luckily the boys instructors put block on them, so they made out ok. All in all, it was a fun day of becoming snowboarding boys.

What a great day. We've wondered when our boys are going to want to try snowboarding. For the time being, we are sticking with skiing, because that is all Jim and I know.

Poor Cannon. Jim NEVER wears subblock. But, blisters....poor guy.

LUCKY! We made it for one snow trip this year, but Bill really wants to hit it again. What a memorie for those cute boys.
