This past weekend w
e took our annual ski trip with my family and the kids. This year Caleb joined us after a Hyades due to lack of interest. We splurged on Saturday and signed him up for a full day lesson. It was a great investment. He became a lot more confident and learned from an adult that didn't want to spank him after listening to him whining. In fact, after I picked him up he went flying down the slope, out of control, and I rushed to "save" him. By the time I caught him, he was back in control and ready to stop to get on the lift again. He did have one minor run in with a tree and a barrier but, nothing too serious. I on the other hand went through the barrier with him on Saturday night and ended up straining my knee. We both landed just below the dinning room window at the condo we were staying at. I was able to get the others attention by throwing snowballs at the window as they were sitting down to eat. The girls both enjoyed the freedom we gave them on the slopes. It is amazing how giving them a little 2-way radio makes us feel that 
they are safe. We really enjoy skiing together and are all blessed that my family got us into a sport we can all enjoy together. I also found another use for the GPS Jamey bought me for my birthday last year. I was able to track the entire weekend on the slopes. I was also able to track my speed down the slopes. That may we dangerous for me. My top speed just 47.7 mph just short of my goal. Better luck next time. By the way, this proves that I am a geek!
