Blake had seen the snow a few times in his life, although I doubt he'd remembered it at all. The first time he saw snow, he was only about two weeks old for a quick day trip to Tahoe. He also saw snow -- and spent the day at a ski resort -- when he was just about 6 weeks old. Only fitting that we would get him on skis at such an early age. Here's my little skier on a recent trip to Tahoe at age 2 1/2.

| Making sure the snow clothes and boots all fit. |
 |
| A day to play before putting on skis. |
 |
| Blake tries to get in on a snowball fight. Thankfully for Mommy, not a ton of success. |
 |
| Dad and Blake in their snow gear! |
 |
| There was just as much dirt as there was snow, at first. We snuck up to a closed lift and let Blake learn how it feels before the real deal. Blake doesn't look so sure. |
 |
| Renting skis & boots, and trying them on at our Tahoe condo. |
 |
| The first day on the mountain! |
 |
| Blake's instructor taught how us to use this cool hula hoop to help Blake learn to ski. |
 |
| Look close, and you can see a grin on that boy's face! |
 |
| Mommy's turn to ski with B! |
 |
| The instructor taught me how to ski backwards.... |
 |
| Ready to ski off the chair lift, Blake? |
 |
| Wheeeeeeeeeee!!! |
 |
| Day 2, and we went all the way to the top of Sierra! |
 |
| Day 3 and we were back at the condo, just playing in the snow. See another smile? Looks like Blake likes Tahoe, and feels like we'll definitely have to go more often. |
