A Day of Cross Country Skiing!

I had the funnest day of Cross Country Skiing with Jenny. Last year I didn't dare volunteer to help because I had never been cross country skiing before. But when she came home and told me about it I thought, "I could have done that." So this year when the parent sign ups came around, I was all over it.
This is Jenny with two of her cute friends, Chloe and Meg! I sure love these girls!
Here are the girls ready to go and Jenny's second time out. They split the kids into two groups and they took turns playing snow shoe games and then skiing. I was asked to ski the whole time and boy am i feeling it tonight! Jenny got to stay with me the whole time.
I even got the full experience by riding up on the bus and having a school sack lunch. There are some cute kids in her class. This is all of them right before we took off from the school. (Jenny's standing up on the right hand side with her tongue out!)

It was fun to get to know some of her friends that I've never met before. They have such fun personalities. They all looked out for one another and always waited for the one who was trailing behind. I was proud of Jenny for giving up her seat by me and sitting by a lonely friend on the bus.

By the end of the day we had taken off our gloves, hats and sweatshirts and arrived at the lodge with only our t-shirts and jeans. We really got a full workout out there.

Thank you Jen for the fun day! I had so much fun with you.
Thank you for waiting for me when I was helping the slow ones.
I love you!
Highlights:
Watching the bus driver rock out to the music
Falling down 3 times going down the first hill
Laughing so hard every time we went down
Mastering the last hill only to have Maddie SLAM into the back of me
Helping McKenzie?
Watching all your cute friends stick together
Being with Jenny!

What a fun day!
It would be fun to go cross-country skiing or snow shoeing. It also sounds like Lou is becoming a loving, caring young woman.

Nicole, I love you! Jenny, you will never know how lucky you are to have your mom for your mom until you have a daughter of your own. Your Mom is pretty and fun and smart and kind! And much more. I think it would be fun for the ladies and the daughters to all go cross country skiing, on a sunny day. Jenny I think your friends look fun. I am still smiling over the bean presentation. I love Jenny and Nicole.
