Die Hard Skiiers

It has been so much fun skiing that it was hard to say goodbye to the season. We began in February with going one day a week. In our last week we went three times! I took the boys on Friday knowing it would be our last time. And then I couldn't bear to have it end, so I took them again on Saturday, and then Ray took them on Sunday.

On Friday, the weather was crazy. It was snowing with a real wet snow, and it landed and melted, and I knew by lunch time we would be soaked. There was also a real thick fog hanging low over the mountain.




As we came up the mountain, all huddled down to keep the snow out of our faces, I told the boys, "We are real die-hard skiers! Only those that love skiing will come through this kind of weather!"


It felt good to be able to say that. I feel quite proud that there is something I love to do that makes me 'athletic'. roflol! Any one who knows me, know I am as athletic as they come. I run to the phone, I walk to the car, I run after children, I jump when a child gets hurt, I dance to music with babies and little ones. Yes, I am athletic. HAHA!

I love the fact that I have found something physical that I love to do. But more importantly, I love to do it with my children! So instead of a 20 minute run around the block, which does *how much* good for me? I get to spend *6 hours* doing something good for my body! I then have to remind myself that it does not then give me rights to going home and having a pop and a bowl of chips! laugh

And this was our reward for sticking out the early part of the day: A beautiful sunshiny afternoon. So warm the boys took a much needed rest on the ride up the mountain.
