Skiing at Camp 10

Last year Karen suggested we try skiing at Camp 10. It's a mom n pop place with a rope, 2 T bars and a chair lift. It's perfect for our young skiers!

Here are Jack T. and Luke.

Cole and Kim on the chair lift.

Meli was escorted by Oz.

Luke going down the shoot between trees.

Elaine learned to ski too! She has gone twice now. In this picture she's putting on a brave face. She hurt her ankle and Shawn skied backwards down the hill with her. It was so sweet!

Jack and Jack had a great day! Shawn is in the background pleased with the boys and how independent they've gotten!

Snow Fun

I rode the tube to Oz's behind the snowmobile. It kicks up a lot of snow! I was glad I had a helmet! Jack pounced on me when I got there!

Then he and the other kids pounced on Oz.

He had to expend some energy...

But he shook them off one by one...

And eventually VICTORY was his!

MLK Weekend Walking

Jeff, Kim and I decided to go for a walk on Saturday. The plan was as follows:
  1. Jeff and I walk to Kim's.
  2. Kim, Jeff, and I walk to Elaine's.
  3. The 4 of us walk to the bar.
  4. Oz drags some of the kids on the toboggan to the bar.
  5. Shawn drags more kids on the tube to the bar.

It all seemed so simple but as Kim and I left her house we saw that my husband was snoozing on the toboggan. Kim said, "Jeff! Jeff! Are you ok?!"

Then she had to give him chest compressions to be sure his heart was working.

We met up with Shawn and Jack. Jeff pulled them for a while.

And we walked and walked and finally arrived at the bar. We set the kids up with hot cocoa and card games.

I couldn't help but think of Reese Witherspoon,

"You have a baby... in a bar!" It was an experience!

The owner of the bar loved having the girls around to chat with!

We don't have any pictures of the trip home. It was fun! Jeff took the snowmobile to get Oz's excursion. Jeff, Kim, Elaine and the kids went with him. Oz drove the 4 wheeler and pulled Kim, Shawn and me on the toboggan. It's harder than you think! I definitely recommend trying it!
