Quinn took his first skiing lesson today at Fujiten (which is on Mt Fuji). We tried to get him an English instructor but no luck... he had to take his lesson in Japanese and a little English. He did awesome! I was shocked to see him coming down the mountain after less than 1 hour with no fear. Mikio, his instructor told us that "he has strong legs and is tough". Quinn ended the day with one final run with Dad. This run included a little scare: Quinn going straight down the mountain fast and eventually tumbling and Neal trying to catch him. But no one was hurt and Quinn is already talking about when he can go again.
So Scarlett and I were supposed to go sledding during Quinn's lesson but she wanted nothing to do with it. The "Kidland" area was awesome. It had moving sidewalks to get up the hills to sled down. It had mounds of snow to climb and snow caves to play in. She was only worried about where Quinn and Daddy were on the mountain. Her happiest moment of the day was sitting in the sled and watching Quinn and Neal ski down the mountain.
The views of Fuji-san were amazing...something I wish all of our family and friends could experience with us.
As we headed home a restaurant caught our eye called the Moose Hill Burger. They had delicious burgers and fries AND you can bring your dog into the restaurant. Ramses and Nemo can't wait to go.

Did the instructor have him tied to a tether? That is awesome! Way to go Q!
Q's skis were attached together at the tip so he could maintain a snow plow. But he wasn't attached to the instructor. I was so proud of him. We are hoping to bring him again.
