childhood unplugged

Our weeks in Colorado are some of my favorite memories with my boys and I hope that when they grow up they too will look back on them with fondness.  Staying unplugged proves to be easy in the mountains, with days full of skiing, snowball fights and s'mores everyone plays hard and passes out when the day ends.  Sometimes there are little naps in the afternoon, because skiing can take it out of them.  And the cold too, as we are use to warm weather and pull out the coats when it hits the lows 60s in Miami, so the snow and the wind chill and the extra dry air that immediately chaps all our lips has never been something we get use to!

This year I couldn't believe what good skiers my boys are becoming, with the little guy graduating to poles half way through the trip! Both of them skiing blues and by the end of the trip we could ski with them no problem.  Especially Massi, he was even making shot and tight turns down blues by the end, and quickly.  It is amazing to see how much they learn in such a short period of time.  I don't remember learning how to ski, I don't remember it being frustrating or difficult, and I hope the same for them, because it is something I so enjoy as an adult and I am happy we are on the way to passing that along.
