With the exception of one day at Kimberly about five years ago when Robert was just 2, I have not been on skis in fifteen years. The logistics of trying to get my money's worth out of a ski pass with two little ones - one who could ski and one who could barely stand on skis mixed with the need to keep it short and sweet those same little ones resulted in me standing on the sidelines. It was just easier that way. Then, the fear set in. It has been soooooo long, would I still know how to ski?
What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare? No time to stand beneath the boughs and stare as long as sheep or cows. No time to see, in broad daylight, streams full of stars, like skies at night. No time to turn at Beauty's glance, and watch her feet, how they can dance. No time to wait till her mouth can, enrich that smile her eyes began? A poor life this if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare. William Henry Davies

The best way to spend Easter Monday!
We went to beautiful Mt. Washington for the last day of the season. The day started out overcast, but the sun did come out briefly. The hill was almost empty, and it was fantastic!

Yep! It's like riding a bicycle. Jamie was surprised that I could actually ski and not only that, but I could ski pretty much as well as he can, once I got over my jitters. But I know that won't last long, he is coming along really well and he has that youthful sense of immortality that results in NO FEAR! Someone else is really coming along well too. Considering this is his second time on skis this year and really only his third time in his life, he is doing really well. GO ROBERT, WHOO HOO!
