Dougie’s Last Ski Lesson

3:36 pm Uncategorized

Connie and I were bound and determined to make at least one of Dougie’s ski lessons. His last day was not only a spectacular day but we were also almost over our colds. So, the family packed up and, armed with our camera, headed to Canada Olympic Park.

After getting themselves ready, the boys hit the slopes for a few practice runs.

A little bit of pre-class stretching and they were off.

They didn’t even bother with the bronze run this week and went straight to the silver. After a run or two on that, they move on to the gold run. Connie and I had to walk up to that one.

If I look cute, can we go home?

Dougie did manage to graduate. He even got full marks in a few areas! He’s done with skiing now for the year but we’ll definitely sign up again in the fall.

Next time, this:

Daddy can do that with him too.
