This year has not been the year for skiing. The winter has been much more mild than previous years and Bittersweet opened late and had to close a few days recently. We made it, however, and Doug, Cam and Meg had a lot of fun. It was icier than usual, so they stayed away from the more challenging hills. Meg was afraid Cam would wipe out. He was able to negotiate the Creeping Myrtle, however, once he got off of the ski lift. That proved to be the biggest challenge of the night for him.
While they were skiing I had dinner with Mary. It was nice to visit with her without a lot of distractions. She was ready to go out when Doug, Cam and Meg came in for a break. After they had a snack and were back on the slopes I took some time to read Anna Karenina. I had planned to get far ahead in it this evening, but once I finished my daily pages Meg came back in and I spent the rest of the evening with her.
We left close to 9 p.m. and stopped to eat on the way home. Everyone had a great time and we made it back before Cal got home from Buffalo Wild Wings with Jayce and Cameron. There is one more ski trip scheduled for us on February 20th. As of right now it looks like we will have snow. Cam and Meg are already looking forward to it.
