Wiped

4 days of snowboarding in one week will do this to a 2 year old.

Maximus and mama have a little routine each day we go to Keystone Resort:

  • pack yogurt with frozen berries mixed in (Keystone charges $7 for a sugary parfait)
  • pack V8 for Maximus and water for mama
  • pack extra gloves
  • always, always pack lip balm
  • make sure we are wearing great socks and 9 layers of clothing (slightly exaggerating)
  • find the secret free parking lot that's very close to the lifts
  • try not to laugh when noticing the odor of marijuana coming from certain cars as we walk through the lot
  • do about 8 runs
  • eat and defrost in the lodge- pick frozen snot off Maximus' cheeks
  • Maximus socializes with other snowboarders in the lodge telling them he's "two half epic" and that he "sowburns dowm big moungers"
  • get another 5 runs in...while pointing at the people who fall and yell, "mom oh no guy fall! Get up guy! GET UP!"
  • socialize with the lift operators and give them lots of high-fives
  • blow kisses to the mountains, ski lifts and magic carpets
  • have mom push Maximus on his snowboard through the village and halfway to the parking lot so he doesn't have to walk. (He likes to wave at everyone and do jumps so they laugh) This is also a great ab workout for mom
  • Get buckled in the carseat and pass out before exiting the parking lot
