Andrew's birthday was last weekend. When I asked him the week before what he wanted for his big day, he told me he wanted a long weekend at the cabin with the family. So, we got crazy and pulled the kids out of school on Friday and headed up. He also agreed to a ski trip. Of course, we didn't anticipate Andrew skiing with us! For the last couple years Andrew has been a great sport and came skiing with me and the kids, but he usually hangs out on the bunny hill with Adam or in the lodge. He has always declined skiing, claiming it was too cold of a sport for him. But this weekend, he surprised us and skied too. It was an awesome day with our whole family skiing together and basically no one on the mountain but us. Happy Birthday Andrew and thank you for giving me the gift of skiing with my whole family. All those years of teaching 5 people to ski finally paid off!
