Skiing in Jay Peak, VT

Hi Everyone,

Last week Mommy and Daddy took me on my very first ski vacation in VT. We went to a mountain called Jay Peak. I did not get to see much of the mountain, but it looked pretty out the window of the condo. Mom and Dad went with a group of friends. It was so much fun seeing old friends and even meeting a few new ones.

During the days, Mommy and Daddy went out and skied (i heard that the skiing was amazing!!!)and I had a babysitter come in to the condo and take care of me. She was really nice. We played until 4pm when I got to see Mommy and Daddy again.

I also had my first snow experience. I hate to say it, but it was not a positive one. It took Mommy forever to get me all bundled up in my snowsuit that Nana Reva got me. I was not happy and cried most of the time. I just don't like to be that bundled up. Then we went outside with Daddy. He put me in the tabogon and pulled me around a bit. I was not really sure at that point if I liked it or not. Next they took me out of the tabogon and put me in the snow. That was when I realized for sure that I HATE snow. Don't like it at all, no way! I screamed and screamed until they picked me up and brought me inside. Maybe I will like it more next winter. Mommy and Daddy decided that next year if I like the snow, they are going to get me used skis and boots and have me play in the backyard in them. That way I can get used to it before I learn to ski the next year when I am 3.

After spending the week at Jay Peak, we went down to Waitsfield, VT. That is where the Ramapo ski club is that we have stayed at in the past. But this time since it is winter, we went to a new ski club as guests, Trailside. This club allows children to stay at the lodge. It is near Sugarbush Mountain, where Ramapo is right on Mad River Glen. We had a great time and I even met a new girl. She is 11 months old and really cute! Maybe we can date when I get older.

It was a great week, and I loved spending time with Mommy, Daddy and all their friends!

Otherwise, I am doing great. Starting to walk a lot more often. Eating just about anything. Although, I still hate green beans! I love to babble, wonder where I get that from? hehe.

Check out my pictures from the vacation below. Hope everyone is well. I will write again soon.

Love,

Ryan
