2 Little Pros








It was a big day yesterday for the gentlemen in the Haddad household! Jake and Tye have now conquered the mountain without daddy controling their speed with the harness!! Tye did excellent for his first time without Nick's help down the green runs. He was able to get in 5 runs in his 1 1/2 hr stretch. Nick said that they nearly wiped out loading the chairlift but they did it!! :)

And Jake went down 4 times yesterday and even went over a jump 2 of the 4 times! Unbelievable...

It was a very snowy day yesterday. The kids are trying, as I did, to get used to their goggles being blurred with the white stuff. Here is how we gear them up for their snowboarding adventures every day: Wool socks, thermal long sleeved shirt, thermal long undies, sweatpants, sweatshirt, vest, snow pants, snowboard boots, snow jacket, mittens, face mask, neck warmer, hat, goggles and finally the helmet and harness. Whew...now that takes a while!

Thankfully, the kids have gotten used to the drill and can the boys at least, can put most everything on themselves. They can even fasten their bindings and set their goggles and helmets. It's quite an emsemble but it's worth every moment of the trouble since they stay perfectly warm and in the end, we don't have to hear any whining!! Big +!
