Bye-Bye Keystone







Thanks for the memories. We're winding down our last hurrah here in Summit County before heading out of country. We did a lot of the usual: ski, swim, dinner, bed. Add a pajama day, some night skiing, and a movie to round out the week.

And some new things as well - Ric gave in and (with head hung low) let the boys take a couple snowboarding lessons. He fears that his excellent skiers will choose boarding over skiing and not hang out with Dad when they get to be teenagers. I think he's getting a little ahead of himself and it's fine if the kids want to try something new sometimes. They had a great time taking lessons together and progressed well. We'll squeak in one more ski day with them just to hammer home that they're skiers who sometimes ride, not boarders. Big difference.

Meanwhile, Evelyn got stronger skiing and could actually go all the way down the mountain without sitting down and crying that she was tired. Never mind that she's great for a 4 year old and skis blue runs like a champ. Apparently she skis for Daddy; for Mommy she cries. Well, I can't win them all.

Anyway, it's been a great week.
Good-bye little condo. We'll miss you.

How fun that must have been for your snowboarding boys! I completely understand Ric's feelings. If I was him, I would totally want them to ski with me too! Maybe he should try out snowboarding?
Your little condo in Keystone will miss you too, I'm sure. We'll do you a favor and keep it company, if necessary ;-)
