When my mom was here this fall, she got cross country skis for all the boys. Today was our first day out. It was great. We are so thankful to live in a place where we can do this just outside our door. The boys started on the driveway and once they got that down they headed into the back to break some trail. When I watch the boys in situations like this, their personalities all stand out so prominently. Matthew is our natural athlete. He looked as if he had been skiing all his life, very fluid and effortless. Caleb is quiet and determined. He put his nose to the grindstone and got to work. Ben started out complaining about the cold until he made it into a race with the other two. Then his competitive side came out and he was off. Molly, our sweet little girl, came out and stuck right next to Matthew. They are best friends and it's fun to see how much she loves him.
We look forward to many more days of skiing at Providence Farm. Thanks, Mom, for the skis.
