Skiing...

We're skiing in Montana with the two big boys and some friends. When we got his skis, the rental guy asked Jacob if he was the best skier at his last class.

Jacob: No, I'm not so good at turning.
Rental guy: (crazy hair and surfer voice) Man, turning is totally unnecessary. You just need to know how to go straight down the hill and fall down. I'm giving you the fastest skis we've got. I call these "hot rods".
Jacob: (huge eyes) Thanks!

He loves those skis. He asks to bring them into the cabin so he can look at them.

We're having a great time. The boys are loving it. It's really nice to take a big kid trip.
