Video Time!

Nathan's instructor, "Alligator", let me come down with them the last run of the day so I could get some footage of the event of the season! After that run, I took him myself. Interesting, when I was the instructor, the willingness to follow directions was a bit different:-) He really wanted to lead... which Alligator specified I would be doing. So we had some nice "discussions" ( ie mountainside meltdowns) about who would lead.
Also, Nathan called Daddy while we were riding the chair lift to fill him in on all the details of our day, specifically the people in front of us who were not using their safety bar! The conversation prior to his call in to Dad went like this:
Nathan: Why don't they have their safety bar down?
Mommy: I don't know.
Nathan: But we always use the safety bar.
Mommy: Well, they're not being smart.
Nathan: (screaming on a quiet mountain) HEY...HOW COME YOU DON'T HAVE YOUR BAR DOWN?
Mommy: (in shock and laughing, rendering me speechless)
Guy in chair: (turns around laughing) Cause we're crazy!!
Nathan: But it's supposed to be down, in front of you, like this (tapping on our safety bar).
Guy in chair: I guess you're right (utilizes safety bar with a smile).
Nathan: (very matter of fact) That's good.
Mommy: (still speechless)
Enjoy the show and forgive some bits of shaky footage. I was switching backwards to forwards to get the best footage.
