A Ski At Fish Lake

A ski around Fish Lake with Friends after X-mas. Yep that is Hawken on skis now too. This was his first time really using them and he did great. My friend let him hold on to her chariot and after that he did it on his own for quite some time. Jaxon is a great skier he's been on them for 3 or 4 years now. We made it all the way around the lake, that's over 3 miles with 4 little boys. A success for these 2 moms! I'm back online after a month without a computer. I have lots of pictures to share so check back soon. Happy New Year to you all, 2013 will bring big things and much change I can feel it...

Cold Sun...

I say "cold sun" because when you look out the window the sun is out, the sky is blue and it's a beautiful day. When you go out (because the kids are stir crazy from all the cold below 0 temps. and not much outside time this weekend) it's 12 degrees with a wind chill of -10 below. But we had fun anyway, for about 20 minutes, cruising down our road. There are a few Icelandic ponies a block away so we went that direction. Jax starts ski club tomorrow and I wanted him to get out on his skis for a bit. I went for a nice x-country ski the other day on one of our local lake trails, the snow was deep but it was "gorgeously cold" out; sun, blue skies ,crisp air and no one in sight. Perfect. Then at the car my ski binding broke, so I'm going to need to shop around for one in town. Until then I will watch Jax ski...
