Jared's perfect day

Saturday could be described as a perfect day for Jared. It started out with a ski trip to Sundance with Chandler. Jared's parents spent the weekend at a cottage at the Sundance resort for some medical meetings and were able to get them free lift tickets (huge bonus). Chandler's highlight was scoring a new ski helmet. He has been wearing it non-stop since he got it. Even at home.
Experimenting with Dad's poles before hitting the slopes.All set to go. Since Chandler has only skiied a few times, he wears this red harness that connects to some lines that Jared holds. This helps keep him in control while he's learning. He should be ready to ski without it next year.

After skiing, Jared and Chandler got to have lunch with Wynn & Joyce. Notice Chandler is still wearing the helmet. :) After returning from skiing, we worked in the yard a little bit trying to get things ready for spring. When evening rolled around, we left the boys in the capable hands of my brother, Tyler and his wife, Amanda. (Thanks again, guys!) I gave Jared tickets to the concert of one of his favorite bands for his birthday in January and it was time to rock out! We actually got the 'middle finger salute' by someone on the freeway on our way up there. We couldn't even figure out why, but it was a good start for a rock 'n roll night.

Self-portrait on Jared's cell phone camera. In case you're wondering, that is an earplug in Jared's ear, not an earing. He used those and I used my noise-reducing headphones to protect our aging eardrums. It worked great and our ears aren't even ringing today.

Live action during the concert. I recorded a little clip on my camera, but haven't been able to get it to upload, so that may be on here in the future. Jared loved rocking out and singing along during the whole thing. Our only complaint was that we had to wait through 2 lesser bands and almost 2 hours before the real show began. I even watched an episode of Friends on my iPod during one of the bands. All in all, it was a fun night out for us!
