X-country across the country?

Wouldn't it be great if cross-country skiing meant we'd go 'cross the country and spend some time with all of you in the West?



Dad & I went cross-country skiing first thing yesterday morning. This is how he likes to celebrate his birthday and he was SO excited that he'd recovered enough from all the surgeries to go. He decided we should go early enough that the snow wasn't melting. Well, it was so cold that we had to stop every few minutes to pull our fingers into the palms of our gloves to warm them up so enough that we could go again.



YIKES it was cold!!! Still, we had a great time - We were the only ones in the park and it was barely light. We skied past a small stream and paused to listen and enjoy. It was a beautiful way to start our day. I took some video of Grandpa skating - You can check it out on the grandma blog.
