Following in her father's footsteps...Literally.

When we were at a minor league hockey game the other night, I knew Chris found a new "event" buddy when Brooklyn turns to me and says "Mom we should sneak down so we can get better seats!" I just looked over at Chris who was beaming with pride. As some of you may know if you ever go to an event with Chris (sporting, concert .....whatever it may be) you will never end up in the same seats that you start out in. Chris has a way of squirming his way to the front for a better view and apparently isn't shying away from his habits when he has his daughter in tow! No wonder she loves going to the games with him she has seats on the glass! haha! Next thing you know he will have her double dipping two disney flicks! Like fatha' like daughter!

To her it was VAIL.....

We took Brooklyn skiing this weekend (and when I say "we" I really mean Chris - I just was a lounge bunny with Brady!) There is a place about 15 minutes from the house who does a great special on the weekends after 5pm! (of course doing the cheapo route since this could be a 10 minute experience!) ......We just wanted her to experience it and hopefully get excited about doing it in the future.... Every comment she made was exactly what we were hoping for!:

1. After everytime down the hill...."Dad can we go again!" (we seriously thought she would be good for about 1/2 hour until she got bored and/or cold- an hour and a half later -Chris had to pull the plug since it was getting dark and his back and thighs were burning from all the snowplowing! :) )

2. "Dad lets go faster!"

3. After 5 times up the tow rope "Dad let go I want to do it by myself!"

Horray for the lil ski bunny - she did great and hopefully we are molding a future ski vacation in 5 years! :)


Brooke and her trusted instructor! Have you ever seen such Cute Lil' skis?

First time down the run and still standing!

Going up the hill was just as much fun as going down - at least for Brooke Can you just feel the burn in Chris' back and thighs! :)

Next up black diamond! :)

It will be a few more years handsome!
