Pizza, pizza, pizza!

No, I’m not referring to dinner, although we eat pizza quite a bit. I’m referring to the beginner ski position of how to stop yourself when plowing down the slope. I’m sure I said the word “pizza” today many times over. We took the kids day/night skiing at one of the local resorts in PA. The older boys did really well and appreciated the fact that skiing in control allows you to challenge yourselves on more difficult terrain. The bottom 2 are still learning how to turn and how to stop. Hence, the word “pizza” that came out of my mouth quite a bit today! My daughter just points her skiis directly down the trail, and you just hope you can keep up with her speed before she reaches the bottom. My youngest son requires you to hold on to him as you both attempt to make it down without falling. He feels like a ton of bricks that I’m trying to keep from toppling over. There’s just not much help from him in the way of effort just yet. My legs are screaming at me right now because of the repetitive isometric tension on them all day. Oh, well. We had a good time.
So, we didn’t have our typical academic day, today. But, we listened to the audio book, “Johnny Tremain” by Esther Forbes during our travels to the lodge. This book is on my son’s reading list for this year, so I was thrilled that the library had an audio copy of it. My husband is actually enjoying listening to the story, as well.
Never miss an opportunity to learn about something new.
