Rain to Ice

Wow, that looks Medieval!

 This weekend the weather could not make up its mind.  On Friday it started with rain.  Then on Saturday it was gorgeous and cold. But the skiing was awful - an ice rink.  Finally, on Sunday it closed with rain and snow.  And the skiing was back to fantastic.

Friday afternoon I was impressed with Nora when she asked me to take her skiing at the golf course.  The rain had held off all morning but it started to rain HARD just as we loaded up the dogs and headed out of town.  We got to our destination and it was looking pretty medieval outside.

But once we got out of the car and started 'doing' it wasn't so bad.  At least the snow was soft and we were outside.  We did a big figure 8 loop and the dogs bounced all around us as we circum-navigated the golf course.

We also achieved a milestone of sorts.  Every year it seems we have to get Nora new boots.  Sometimes she barely gets to use them before they are too small and are passed on to Stuey.  But on Friday I noticed that Nora's feet are almost as big as mine - we tried an old pair of mommy boots and they fit!  A little loose, but Nora is still growing too.  It seems the days of forever obsolete kids boots might be coming to an end.  Nora is graduating to adult hand-me-downs.

But hey the XC skiing was good

Saturday was boilerplate once everything froze
