Bode Miller watch out

Brooks Fuquay is ready to shred! 

We spent the weekend in Winter Park and took Brooks to the ski hill for the first time.  After seeing his buddy Xander with his skis, Brooks thought he would like to give it a try.  He loved the skis, the boots and the helmet and had such a good attitude.  We spent about an hour or so at the "magic carpet" and bunny hill hanging out and moving around of the skis. 

While his legs would go pretty "jelly" when he and daddy were coming downhill, he rode the magic carpet without help and was shuffling around on his skis pretty well.  It was adorable to say the least!


practicing his falling!

terrible picture but about to come down the hill

Kate came along for the morning adventure and stayed warm in a wagon while Brooks was "skiing."  She was such a cute snow bunny.

Can't wait for more chances to take this little guy back to the mountains! He's hooked!

Please tell your brave little man how proud I am that he mastered at 3 something I have not even attempted at 33!

Oh my gosh. That's adorable. He's going to be one of those 4 year olds at the very tippy top, laughing at me on the bunny hill as he comes down...
