X Country Skiing 101

I took the kids out today for their first time and thankfully, they had a ball. I've heard horror stories of some parents having to endure introductory cross country ski sessions with their kids. I'm sure the weather helped out today but I think Ethan and Madi and just stoked to try ANYTHING new, which is really awesome.

Ethan tore it up. He was like a racing rabbit just going for it. That kid has the legs for it for sure. Madi fell down a lot but always did so with a laugh and got right back up again (except for when she whacked herself in the forehead with a ski pole). They were smiling the whole time so that was a good sign.

I've never been to the Mink Creek Nordic Center in Pocatello until today and I have say I'm quite impressed. In fact, I'm quite impressed with all of the outdoor recreation opportunities that Pokey has to offer and am rather dissappointed in Idaho Falls. Maybe a move is order...
