During the Pause on Sports....

We enjoyed a fun hike as a family on a warmer than normal day with no snow

We have been doing distance learning full time

 

We took everyone skiing for the first time

Lots of fun and lots of work!

Fun times!

This is Liam and Aiden's



We have been staying busy during our pause from sports.  The boys have had lots of Zoom meetings to do everything from stick handling to discussing team concepts.  Some meetings have been social while others have been conditioning workouts.  The boys have enjoyed them and its been a good chance to see their friends albeit over a video call.

We took everyone skiing for the first time ever.  Luke and Liam had the opportunity to go with a friend last winter for the day, but this was the first time for Aiden and Finn.  The boys really enjoyed it and clearly picked up on it faster than John and I did.  Finn was fearless in going down the mountain but clearly needs to work on learning to stop and turn.  John and I held our own, but we were sweating before we even got out on the "mountain" to ski.  It was quite a feat just to get equipment for everyone.  We survived and, of course, the boys want to go back! 

We are still in full distance learning for all four boys and the pause in all youth sports will last for at least the rest of this week.  We should hear pretty soon what the plans are after this week.  The boys are hoping to be skating on the backyard rink before Christmas as John filled it over the weekend!
