Skiing Fun!

Today on our walk, as usual, Ian got to get out of the wagon and walk some too. We wait for flatter parts on quiet roads. He loves these parts of the walk.

When we got to an even flatter place, we got him onto the skis.
We helped him shuffle some at first, and slid him along for a bit too. He had the biggest grin on his face! Then we started letting him just go on his own, and he did so well!
He got back into the wagon for more steep areas, then on the flats again we asked him if he wanted to walk or ski. He said "SKI!" We really need to get a skiing trail to and from home built so we don't need to bring the wagon, maybe just a sled. Such fun! Here's a short video.
All that fun and you had no idea it's in the single digits outside! Ian came very close to falling asleep on the way back, and we worked hard at keeping him awake. Back at the ranch, we had chicken noodle soup, fruit, and leftover rice and veggies for lunch, then Ian was down for the count! A family skiing outing is next!
