Colorado style is so easy: just throw on a sweatshirt, stick some dried fruit in your pocket, put on some Chap-Stick, and you're ready to go. Chad, Henry and I, along with my parents, are on spring break in Durango for a little skiing and relaxing. Henry was enrolled in a ski class today. He got to be a "Powder Pig" even though he is not quite three. They just stick some Nordic skis over their regular shoes and basically teach them how to "walk" on skis and maybe change directions. It's all done on a flat surface. No downhill yet. We snuck up on him and watched his lesson in progress and got a few pictures. Henry seemed to be doing well and following directions. (I was a bit worried since he was the youngest one in the class.) Tomorrow we return to reality.
Our Little Powder Pig
Henry didn't like the sled at first,
but here you can see he warmed up to the idea.

Henry in front of the train station in downtown Durango.
I though he might be scared of the train when it came into the station, but he loved it. We had to drag him away.
There's just something about trains and boys.

It looks nice. For me, I am totally over the snow for this year, but it looks like you had a good time over there. :) Spring break already? We have two weeks or so left until the break here. On the other hand we just had our "sport break" (um that must have been somewhere when you had the "ice break")...
Oh looks great - I think this is where we are going with Solveig and Brent in the summer. Great fun for Henry, I bet.
Well, as Louise said: I´m fed up with all snow... HERE!
It looks like you guys had a lot of fun. Henry is so cute in his little skis!
