One of my favorite memories growing up was skiing with my family. My dad was the Special Ed. Teacher for the school district and he would take his students skiing all the time. He also taught them all how to ski! I would often go and learn along with them. My dad and I got season passes for a few years too, and we would go every Saturday and holidays. So I guess it's kind of a family tradition you could say. All my brothers and sisters love to ski/snowboard too. 
I was thinking I was about Caleb's age when I first learned, so I decided it was time to go. Luckily my dad came along too. I knew he could teach anyone. 
Caleb did great! Of course at first he struggled and fell quite a lot taking me with him most of the time, but by the end of the day he was awesome! I can now say I know fear. You know, the fear mothers have for the safety of their children. Obviously I was the only one with any fear today. Caleb had none. I would say probably the last six times down the hill, he only knew one speed. Fast! I would try to tell him to slow down and take more turns down the hill, but he didn't think that was as fun. He now says I'm a chicken! Just watch the video for yourself, and you'll know what I mean! He would go so fast and I don't think he fell down once all afternoon!
I couldn't keep up with him as you can see. He went so fast down the hill I could no longer see him. Oh, and sorry about the filming. Remember I was trying to ski and film at the same time!
