One thing that I constantly feel guilty about is the fact that I haven’t spent much time trying to teach the kids to ski. We went to Hidden Valley at Christmas a couple of years ago and I think that John was the only one that had fun. Since then I usually use the excuse that there isn’t enough snow. This year I promised myself that I would get them out at least once and last week we did it. We went to Camelback in the Poconos and had a fantastic time. It was a beautiful day, between 40 and 50F and sunny. John boarded and Alec and I skied. John did really well a boarding and Alec took to the skis in no time.<\/p>\n
