In an effort to reduce unnecessary stuff we focused on experiences for Boyd's birthday. He really wanted to try snowboarding so today he and I made the trek to Massunutten. We arrived when it opened and he took a 2 hour group lesson. Then he was set free on the bunny hill. A few runs later he decided he was ready to hit the chair lift and big runs. I was terrified to send my baby alone into the slopes (and to do the chair lift solo). He was so brave and learned so much about snowboarding and himself today. I was such a proud momma and watched the hill for 7 1/2 hours. He couldn't get enough. His tenacity and attitude were amazing. I can only imagine how sore he is going to be when he wakes up. Happy belated birthday present Boyd.

| Practicing on the bunny hill. |
 |
| Strapping his boot in to ride the chair lift for the first time. He later told me strapping to his board was so satisfying. |
 |
| What am I letting him do??? |
 |
| Always relieved to see him at the bottom in one piece. |
 |
| For a day 1 snowboarder he did pretty well. |
