My love for skiing and distaste for organized sports has led inevitably to daily P.E. excursions on skis.

My kids seem to enjoy it, and I love the quiet and space and daylight.

Ben and I skied the ten miles around big lake two weeks ago. Even though we had to break a few miles of trail, skiing was hours faster than walking.

Sean’s here, which has led inevitably to…

…this! He’s doing awesome, and digging it, which warms the cockles of my heart. They’re even more warmed by the fact that, despite his longer legs, I’m still faster. Ha!
