We are so proud of our little skier!
This year Nick got to go to ski school! It was five weeks long, every Saturday, all day at Snowbird Ski Resort in SLC, UTah. He always came home exhausted, and eventually told us about all the neat things he was learning.
Zack told me when he got to see him ski he was always racing down the mountain. One particular time Nick was skiing with his instructor and (what looked intentional) skied him into a large group of people and took off around them and zipped down the hill. Little stinker.
Above is his instructor Greg (AKA Cody). Nick on the left. He alternated taking Nick and this other little boy(?) out to ski. Below is a letter that Greg wrote to us telling us about Nick and his progress in the program.
And lastly there is his "report card". It is all pretty accurate, other than "I know my instructors name." I asked Greg what Nick called him during the day, he said Greg. I said, well... he calls you Cody at home. Not sure why... hahahah Such a funny boy.
To enlarge any of the pictures to see them better, just click on it, it will open in another window and you can enlarge it from there.
Congratulation Nick! We are so proud of you.

On the quilt are pictures of McFarlands, Springobs, Merrills, Brockbanks and Hills. And pictures of Nick with me and Zack. And I printed everyones names on the quilt as well, so when he gets old enough to read he will remember who everyone is. I can't imagine what it would have been like to have grandparents and great grandparents on every side to keep track of! :) He sure loves them all too.
Here is a picture of where it hangs in his room. Also, a picture of the quilt I made him for Christmas for his new bed that Great Grandpa Hill made him. I LOVE his room. It's hard to see in this picture, but there is an alphabet in the form of a train on the wall there above his bed.
Just wanted to share. :)
