Family Ski

We got some used downhill and crosscountry skis for the kids, so this afternoon we decided to practice in the front yard and in the park across the street. There was a lot of falling over, a lot of replacing mittens, and some moments of lying on the back, refusing to go on.  Glad the skis were inexpensive, and glad we didn't have to go far to practice today.
