Last weekend we went up north with your family. We stayed together at a Red Jacket Inn condo in North Conway... which you have been known to call "my hotel." It was cold, but we went skiing almost all day Saturday - you, Ainsley, your Dad and me. I stayed with you most of the time as your Dad taught Ainsley how to ski. You both did amazingly well, I was so proud. Although you hadn't been for a couple years, there were no adjustment problems. It was obvious how your skating skills were transferable to skiing - balance, the ability to push your body forward, flexibility, knowing how to get up after a fall and being used to the cold. Once you got the hang of it, you were going straight down the bunny slope. I taught you how to turn and cut across the slope so you could control your speed. You caught on very quickly and soon we went a bit higher up the mountain. I expected Ainsley to ski for maybe 15 minutes, but she learned to love it and didn't want to stop. After skiing, we all went to the Kahuna Laguna Water Park at our hotel and went out to eat. The next day, we hit the water park again. It was a fun weekend!
