After all these years…
I went downhill skiing one time … hated it. Something to do with being on the side of a mountain, a fear of heights, and having absolutely NO control BUT I’ve wanted to go Cross Country Skiing and never could talk Keith into it until today with the kids. I think we’ll go back for a lesson but we had a great time and it was so peaceful and beautiful on the trail.
Chris and Becky on the trail…..
After 3.4 miles I could still smile!








Looks cold…brrrrrrrr!
We used to XCountry ski…so peaceful. Well, except for the sound of my heavy breathing.
Glad you enjoyed it.
Merry Christmas!
Love to do cross country. But as it happens it sometimes turns into downhill on nordic skis.
Good for you Mary! Fun family sport to do with your family. Also, excellent exercise & safer then downhill skiing. Brings back a lot of memories skiing with our sons but we did downhill.
I wouldn’t even try downhill skiing even once! Cross country seems like a much better choice.
Looks like you had a great time. I haven’t done that in years, but do remember the soreness the next day
I just wanted to wish you a Merry Christmas and thank you for sharing with all of us on your blog. Thank you for all the quilts you brought to the Ronald Mcdonald house. You’re a very caring person and I think it just comes naturally to you. Best wishes for a wonderful holiday with your family.
Looks fun to me!!!!
that looks like so much fun. I don’t live in the snow and getting to it is too much work! Merry Christmas to you and yours!
Looks like you had fun. We haven’t gotten any snow so far, they say maybe Christmas day. I hope.
Merry Christmas to you and yours!
Looks like so much fun. I didn’t like downhill skiing either and I’m probably too lazy for xcountry. I’ve been reading your archived blog posts – I grew up in Norfolk, VA and have a cousin in Newport News (still there). So Merry Christmas to another VA girl!
Merry Christmas Mary to you and your family.Bonnie in So. Tx.
OOh la la a white Christmas – here in New Zealand I can only dream… looks lovely!
I’ve never been on ski’s & feel I’m with you – heights an all…
Looks like a fun day out.
Love Leanne
Merry Christmas, Mary! Looks like you and the family are enjoying the season and each other. What a wonderful Christmas present to have the family there with you.
Merry Christmas Mary! Looks like you’ve had a funs start to the holiday by going skiing. The snow looks so pristine. Enjoy your holiday!
Happy to see you skiing! We do it too. Have not visited at your blog for a longer time, but you look to be as busy as usually. Happy this New Year to you ad to yours! Aune From Finland
