We went to visit my Dad in Santa Fe, New Mexico for a couple of days. Finn was so excited to see snow and build a snowman. Rick and and I got to go out to dinner on the Square while my Dad watched Finn. The next day we took him skiing. We weren't sure what to expect- and when we got there we enrolled him in the Ski School. We weren't allowed to stay and watch, so Rick went snowboarding while I hung out in the cafeteria (no skiing for me). I went back after a few hours to check on Finn, and he was clearly distressed. His ski instructor said that he followed all the instructions and skied with everybody, but was crying the whole time. We didn;t do a very good job preparing him to be left alone with strangers all day. We pulled him from the class, and Rick skied with him for awhile. Finn did well, and loves being in the snow. He never complains about being too cold. I think he will be able to do a full lesson next year, and maybe try some of the bunny slopes.
