Malcolm's on YouTube!

This past Sunday while Ronan, Ali and grandmother Lydia went to see Gnomeo and Juliet, Malcolm and Joe headed off for a day of snowboarding at Poley Mountain. Malcolm, who turns 7 on February 24, has been snowboarding a couple of times on the bunny hill this year and on Sunday following a lesson, he headed up the mountain with Joe. This video, taken by Joe, shows how naturally snowboarding comes to Malcolm. The video is a hit on Joe’s Facebook page. I hope you enjoy it.
