Snowtime





Winter is in full force, Patrick is in snow heaven and the kids are at an age where they can truly enjoy the snow. When Stuey was younger (last winter), he was at a harder age to do outdoor things with. Barely mobile and not an age to have many outdoor adventures. Now at almost 2 he loves the snow.

Patrick and I have been scheming of starting a little toddler ski group-next winter perhaps. It would be for kids 4 and over--we could have people with small kids get some used skis at Play it Again Sports in Anchorage. On the weekends we could meet at various cross country ski spots. After seeing Nora on skis, we realized how fun it will be to get a little group of kid cross country skiiers together. Patrick has hopes of forming Kodiak's first Cross Country Ski team by the time Nora is in high school.
We'll have to keep our fingers crossed that Nora even enjoys cross country skiing! :)

No worry Zoya - she's a Saltonstall so skiing is in my blood. LOL

thats what we're worried about. The STUBBORN Saltonstall part, too. Patrick thinks she'll have tattoos, won't ski a lick and will be a vegetarian.
