Alex is growing up.

Yesterday we took Alex skiing. It was a very interesting adventure. One that has stuck in his mind as fun and really fast. We took him to a local resort and signed him up for a lesson. He got on his boots and walked over to the magic carpet. Ready set GO.
All this brought back a flood of memories of my dad. He taught me to ski at a very young age. I learned on a t-bar. I remember the ski patrol telling my dad that he had to teach me to STOP! The adventures we had racing each other down the hills, daring each other to try various jumps and bumps. He was the king of skiing out of bounds. I remember one time seeing the ski patrol before he did. I got back in bounds before him. He got his pass pulled. We used to race down the moguls in Sun Valley with people cheering me on. I was a very little kid who was fast and fearless. Sound familiar?
Alex did him proud. He would have loved this adventure with him. It is things liket this that really make me miss him. I wish he had a chance to know these boys.

Bring it ON!!
