Charity likes to swim. It is nice and warm in the pool area - no need for extra clothing. Eli on the other hand likes to ski. He loves to be outdoors. He is a lot like his father in this way. It also keeps his lazy mom active. We really haven't had any snow here in Minnesota this year - so we have not been very excited to go skiing. They always make snow, but for this Colorado native it is like skiing on ice pellets. I have truly been spoiled by the real snow in the Rocky Mountains. (Cheri - I have never been to the Alps to ski, but my guess is that MidWestern skiing would be mighty disappointing coming from almost anywhere!).
Anyway, enough complaining. Roger, Eli and I went skiing this last weekend. Eli is taking lessons and we actually bought Sunday passes at a local hill. Eli loves to go up the hill on the towrope and manuever on the snow. It is so fun to watch as a parent to see the joy. We only skiied for a couple of hours. I end up getting cold or tired by the end of this and that is the length of Eli's lessons. He had a great time and slept very well after the physical activity.
Thanks for reading

We haven't been skiing here yet. I'm hoping to go this winter, but the snow situation is bad in Europe right now too.
One thing I did hear though - no tow ropes! Can you believe that? I can't imagine the kids (ok, or myslf) getting on the little lifts and seats right off the bat!
