Swimming and skiing

This weekend was full with a swim meet and ski race.

1st ski race of the year

With a cold week and some snow, we were able to finally go to the 1st ski race of the year.  It turned out to be a great day with temps just above freezing and tons of sun.  Elan and Mila both had great races.  Mila got 1st place and Elan got 9th.

After the ski race we drove to Killington.  We found a great little pub near our hotel and then after dinner the kids got to enjoy the pool.  On Monday we woke up to a cold sunny day.  We got in a lot of great runs before driving home.

70 degrees in January!

The week didn't start off great.  Tika tore up one of her dog toys and ate the batteries.  She spent many hours in the vet's office over a few days and finally were able to get all 3 batteries out.

On Saturday the kids had a swim meet in Boston.  They were both getting over colds; so they were tired but swam hard.

The entire weekend was a heat wave with it hitting 70 in Boston.  Unfortunately, the kids' ski race was canceled.  However, we took advantage of the warm day and walked to town to go to lunch and the library.

Otters swim meet

This weekend Elan and Mila had a swim meet.  They had a great race.  They were suppose to have a ski race on Sunday but it was canceled due to rain.

New Year's Day

Today we skied for a few hours before heading home.  We got a lot of great snow last night so it was a fun 1st day of the year!
