estin skiing

i've been waiting for brian to upload some of the video footage of estin's first ski trip so i can put it on you tube, but he's been busy with google texting, lol. thanks kari for getting us hooked on texting! so when curran and i were in hawaii - brian, estin, and dade went to colorado with boppo ron, grandma barb, uncle booney, and aunt julie for some fun skiing. estin was completely outfitted in little person ski clothes and gear. i asked him if he thought it was hard to walk in the ski boots and he said, "well, i couldn't run in them, but i could walk with little baby steps." so brian was telling me about how they took estin skiing down the mountain. boppo ron and brian went pretty slow, made nice easy turns, and stopped without endangering my first born's life. then uncle booney (who btw, was estin's favorite person to ski with he says) would pretty much just fly down the runs - no stopping, no turning, estin helped by saying - don't run into those trees, don't run into those people!! just wait, the video will make this story better, i'll add it soon... so a snippet of our conversation following this story...

brian: booney never turns or slows down on green runs, not even as a kid...
me: well if that's how estin's learning to ski, is that how he'll ski on his own?
brian: no, estin's too cautious. (he points at dade) that one will ski like booney!
dade: (big smile) yeaaaaah!
