Bittersweet

This afternoon Doug, Meg and Cam loaded up the van to head to Michigan for their first ski trip of the year.  They joined the Milford Ski club two years ago and have really enjoyed skiing together.  All of Meg's friends were there and it becomes a social event as much as a time to ski.  I never thought any of my children would love to ski or snowboard as much as they do.  It has been one of the perks of transferring our children to Milford.  Starting in fifth grade all students take a PE trip to Bittersweet and are given a lesson on how to ski.  Meg was hooked from her first snowboard run and pulled the other two right along with her.

I appreciate that Doug is willing to take them.  Meg is fine going off with her friends.  They navigate the hills and lifts well.  Cameron, however, needs an adult with him.  He did make it off of the bunny hill today, but hasn't quite mastered the tow rope yet. A multitude of snow, no broken bones and a lot of great stories made for an awesome day.
