Saturday, Snowboarding, Sledding, and Sam

Well I got my wish.

More snow.

After Friday's marathon snowfall, Saturday was beautiful.

Sunny and not too cold.

So after I was done with a client's session I picked up Sam and headed over to the hill.

It worked out perfectly since Beth was out shopping 

for "girl stuff", as Sam put it, with Grammy.

He did sooooo well on his snowboard.

Even attempting, (my heart's in my throat now), a small jump.

Last year for Christmas Luke and Danielle gave him a snowboard.

Last year he was 4 going on 5.

I do believe that he is going to need a new one next winter.

He is already starting to outgrow it!

The one he is riding in the photos was one from a 12 year old boy that took Sam under his wing for the afternoon. 

After some serious snowboarding he decided to take it easy and go sledding.

I took my life in my hands by laying down on the ground, beneath the jump, trying to capture some cool shots. I am sure that the other parents there thought I was completely insane. There were a couple of times where I had to roll out of the way quickly but it was worth it. Sam loves the photos.

I told him I was going to put them on the blog

 and he said, "Mom I'm going to be famous."
