It was a treat for me to join the family fun in Solitude.
Why expensive pictures? Because these are the pictures of our treasure's "labor moment."
Aunt Diane: "at one point Chris was laying on his back on the mountain moaning and saying 'I feel like I'm in labor.' He is a treasure. Also, take the boy shopping and buy him some jeans."
Uncle Chad: "The positioning of his legs made him look like he was in labor too."

Uncle Chad: "Chirs did the gentle slope of the bunny hill just fine but the green run on Moonbeam was a bit much. I used the only techniques I know from teaching my three to ski when they were 5--skiing backwards and bent over down hill while holding the tips of Chrirs' snowplowing skis together and helping him to turn back and forth. His long lanky legs had a devil of a time hold his skis in a snow plow. Falling was his only way to stop. Later after the birthing scene, I had him slide in behind me and put his arms around my waste so we could snow plow down the hill together. His only other option was to slide on his butt or walk."

Aunt Diane: "Chris has to show up at his Uncle Chad's funeral in 30 years and tell the story of how his uncle heroically got him down the mountain."
It was just solely hilarious. Everyone enjoyed his positive characteristics and loving nature. Thanks, Chris for making the day such a memorable one!
There is another reason why those pictures are expensive. Because, I lost my engagement ring and a wedding band while taking those pictures. I told David and his friends that we could all go hiking to Solitude when the snow melt. Anybody else interested in "treasure hunt?"
