One thing I always try to make time for is my family. Every Sunday we try to go skiing at Hemlock. Well the girls and I go. It’s kind of a nice break for Monica as well. The girls are with me and she can watch all the Girly Movies she wants. About the only time we don’t go is when it’s pouring rain.
When I was a kid I remember begging my parents for just one more run, one more lap on the BMX track, or just stay on the ice 5 more minutes. And with my kids I thought that day would never come.
The first few years of skiing I would take them early in the morning, ski for a couple hours, then back in the car so everyone could have naps on the way home. (Not me of course, I was driving). I thought, will I always be able to outlast these kids on bikes, skis, etc?
Well the day has come. Instead of me trying to get Skyler and Isabella to do just one more run, its “Dad you go get the car, get all your stuff off and put away and we will ski down to the car after 2 more runs. “Or “quick get in the line there shutting down the chairlift.”
It makes me really proud that they enjoy being outside so much.
It also makes me feel a little old.
