Kent's Spring 2004

Kent had lots of fun this spring.  The pictures below show him learning how to ski, spending time at home, and hanging out with friends.

Skiing!!!!

Kent went skiing at Squaw.  The first day was a bit rough, but his instructor Siobhan was very patient.  It was hot (the pool was open at 8000 feet) and he probably had too many clothes.  Kent really didn't want to learn how to turn.  He did better when I came to watch him.  And we convinced him that turning was good.

The second day was spectacular.  He wanted to hold my poles the first couple times down the slope (at Northstar).  But then he said he didn't want to touch me and he proceeded to ski all the way down without falling.  We were both pretty happy.

By the end of Sunday, his second full day on the slopes, he was skiing intermediate slopes. He was loving it.  I wanted to leave early to beat the traffic, but I couldn't leave while he was having so much fun.

Two weekends later, we were back at Squaw with my friends Carl (the Love King) and Paul.  Paul was snowboarding so Kent enjoyed watching that.  They knew the runs better so we could be more adventuresome.  But we did try to keep one person between Kent and the trees.  He was fast.

The next day we went to Sugar Bowl. The snow was really slow.  Kent did one flip when he dropped into an ungroomed ditch. He was surprised but ok.

At Home

We spent the first part of the year finishing the downstairs room in the Page Mill house.  Kent enjoyed the chance to get dirty (and some of the cleanup)

The plum tree in back was spectacular.  Kent still wants to get pushed on the swing.

Every chance he gets, Kent likes to put all his train track into one big layout.  He has to find a use for every single piece.  He is getting good at it.
