Visiting neighbors

I finally went to visit my neighbor Mickey today...

Camera

It wasn't captured on video, but this was my reaction to my first time skiing:

"I want to go faster! Faster!!"

"Stop holding my hand! I want to do it myself!"

"I want to ride the big ski lift with the bar!"

Once I get potty-trained, look out mountain...
