Alan took four of the kids skiing yesterday. Poor Liam got sick and had to stay home. And the house was strangely quiet with only 5 kids home. Both Abby and Liam were sick so they took naps as well which meant for a short time yesterday everyone else in the house was asleep. Reminded me of the years when all my kids were under 5 and everyone in the house napped. Ah, silence in the middle of the day.

Back to skiing. This was Katie's first time downhill skiing. She is apparently a bit of a natural on skis. Since she tends to be naturally athletic (the only brother she can't run faster than is Sean and I noticed she is catching on to karate very quickly), this was not too much of a surprise.

The group rate discount that we managed to get with the ski resort included rentals and ski lessons so all the kids got a refresher course and Alan had a little over an hour to ski on his own. He used it (after explaining to the remaining ski instructor that since he used to teach lessons himself, there really truly was no need for him to take lessons that day although he was welcome to follow him around on the slopes for a bit) to hit all the slopes the kids were not quite ready for themselves.

In looking at these pictures last night I just kept thinking that there is something wrong with skiing when you can see that much green grass. And, of course, it snowed last night and the kids have been out shoveling the driveway.
