more snowboarding

When we were in Colorado last week we didn't have a chance to go tubing. I found out that Mountain High had a tubing park so we decided to check it out. Kyle planned on snowboarding after while I took Olivia out shopping and hanging around town.

Thinking it would be warm, we didn't pack many warm clothes. It was freezing! A ton of fog and tiny little bits of snow. Turns out this tubing place was pathetic and we headed over to Mountain High. Kyle went snowboarding while Olivia and I had lunch in the lodge and a 3 hour picnic in the back of Kyle's car. At one point we went up to find Kyle. Olivia was worried he got lost. She told me if he was brave and not scared she would give him her Student of the Week medal (which is a big deal). We were about to give up because we were cold when we saw him. Livi was very proud.

softball

Kyle recently joined a softball team. His first game he hit the ball, just to the other team. 




He did great at pitching.


Olivia loves to cheer him on.


Each game he's getting better. It takes a while to get used to it. He may try the new leg instead of the running leg this week. He also wants to try different positions to see how well he can move.

colorado

This weekend we went to Colorado to visit Olivia's preschool BFF and her family who had recently moved. Kyle just got the fancy new Genium leg so this was a great chance to test it out.

First things first. Playing in the snow.



Mike and Kyle went snowboarding. Of course Kyle did well thanks to the "downhill skiing" mode on his leg. I am very proud, and impressed, by him. Each time down the mountain he did better and better. 





Of course he was exhausted but loved it.

On our last day we visited Red Rock Amphitheater. 




Walking down the million stairs to the stage wasn't so bad, but walking back up was tough! Kyle kept up and loves that he can now step up stairs like a real person. 


Great trip!
