Jax first try at skiing

Feb 17, 14
This trip skiing we decided to brave it and take Jax. This was a very interesting event. He was pretty much a limp noodle and would not stand up for very long. He liked it once we started going faster and then he was upset when we had to ride up the magic carpet.

He would squat down and ride up like this every time.

What he truly wanted to do was play in the snow and throw it.

Mayla on the other hand is gaining more confidence and skiing pretty much on her own. We ran into her friend Nora and she rode down the hill a few times with her.

The next time we went up skiing was for our ward ski night. My mom came with and we decided to take Jax and see how he did this time. It was a lot of work but a lot of fun. Mayla was surrounded by her friends, which in turn made her more willing to try new things. After the first few runs she was off Skiing with Bella and Grandma. I went inside with Jax and when I saw Mayla she was flying down the hill having the time of her life. I couldn't believe that she was so confident. It took all we could to get her to stop to eat dinner. 

Jax was hard at first when we were on the magic carpet. So we decided to try taking him up the lift and he couldn't have been happier. He loved every minute of it because we were going fast. Of course I should have thought of that sooner!! He wore a backpack with a handle on it and I just had his skiis between mine and we just cruised! It was a lot of fun.
