Happy Birthday Daddy!

Shawn is lucky enough to get his birthday off of work as a paid holiday. I thought it was pretty awesome that he chose to spend this day off taking Ryder skiing. It was also awesome that the ski resort lets you ski free on your birthday (and 5 year olds ski free)! Top that with the warm weather we've been having (40?!) and you've got a pretty epic day for a 5 year old and a dad who lives for this kind of stuff.

Ryder couldn't stop talking about the 'XGames run' (run with mildly banked edges), his turning, watching other skiers hit the box and 'do railslides', the fries and hot chocolate in the chalet, going to the House Boardshop and bringing home a ton of stickers....sounded like a pretty fun day :) And they went on 17 runs!! Sounds like Shawn had a pretty good time, too :)

When I [finally] got home, we celebrated with a hearty dose of chocolate:

Happy Birthday, Shawn!!
