Skiing Surprise

Today we took the kids for another day of skiing. The weather was windy and cold. Thank goodness for goggles! But the last hour it cleared up and we had beautiful scenery and a lot of fun. I love hanging out with Megan and Melissa - 10 and 11. The best age! So much fun and so willing to spend time with us.
Andrew is an awesome snowboarder and I loved looking down from the lift and seeing him having a great run. Megan and Melissa are terrific skiers too. They waited for me at the end of every run - because I am cautious and therefore slow. But I did not fall...

Sadly Katie did not feel well so she stayed home. We missed her.

So the surprise came when we got home. After she took a nap, Katie got busy. She cleaned the house and made us dinner - complete with hot homemade cinnamon rolls. It was on the table when we got home. She is 14 and so capable. I was really proud of her.

Wow! Thanks so much Katie. You are a terrific daughter and a very capable cook!

Katie is more than welcome to come cook for me when she wants. :-) That's great that she cooked and cleaned when she wasn't feeling well. She'll make a good mom!
