Dinosaur and Heat Blast go Skiing

Do I need to explain why the boys decided they wanted to go skiing in their costumes?

Ben & Josh Skiing, March 2012

Here's a little clip of Ben & Josh skiing at Alpine Meadows.  The boys took their first lessons.  Josh was thrilled to have ridden the chair lift all by himself, "4 times!"  Ben skied all day and was so exhausted at the end of the day he could barely keep his eyes open.  At the dinner table when he lost his wiggly tooth he burst into tears, big day for the little man.  If you can get past the bumpy clip of Josh skiing down Hot Wheels Gully you'll see how I found Josh yesterday afternoon, truly priceless.

Skiing

Josh decided to ditch the leash the last time we were up skiing and because he wants to go where his brother goes, today he decided he had to go down Hot Wheels Gully.  Here's a clip of the boys navigating a rather interesting spot on the run- they both just pointed their skis and went for it.

Hot Chocolate

Last month we went to Carolines Coffee Roaster for more Outside Inn blog research, today, with our snow day and wet weather seemed like a perfect day to share the photos of the boys' hot chocolate.  The post on the Inn's blog is here, but you don't get to see the little people who were sampling the goodies, so I thought I'd post a couple of photos of the product tasters on here.

Independence Trail

My research assistants out helping me scout out great hikes in the Nevada City area.  Here's a link to the Outside Inn blog post I did on the Independence Trail.  No explanation needed for why I had Ben 10 alien Heatblast and Ultimate Humongousaur along with me, right?
