The Kroons are a skiing and biking family so our kiddos have no choice but to learn to do both! So far both boys love biking and we are still working on the skiing part! It takes major effort to pump them up with motivational chats and bribes. Then, once they've gained the confidence... they are good to GO! So, we spent all week prepping Parker for his debut ski at Alyeska. Kep and Popeye took the day off and they ALL had a blast! I love seeing my guys come home all jazzed and hearing Kep say "THAT was the highlight of my winter"!Here's just a quick li'l video of Parker's first time taking turns on his skis. I was amazed with how quick he caught on to the turning. He looks a TON more confident than I did as a 9th grader... pretty sure I "snowplowed" the whole way! ;)
You might notice that he ran into the last foam obstacle, instead of knocking it down, which has caused him to hobble around the last few days! Minor injury on his first day at Alyeska... hopefully it won't set his confidence back the next time around!!! hehehe ;)
