Zoe is taking to skiing like nobody's business. She is quickly learning to pick her toes to keep the toe of the ski out of the snow. And she understands that it is easiest to ski in the tracks that her dad makes for her.
We went over to Mimi and Papa's on Saturday and all headed out to the pasture to do a little tootling along. I set down a track of about 200m round trip. Amy and I made some circuits while Mimi, Papa, and Zoe played in the snow. Zoe loves to eat snow, though (hopefully) the novelty is wearing off. We did get her mittens on her hands, so that made it harder for her to pick it up. 
We tried to get her to slide a little bit on a steeper place, but she didn't get the hang of it: so far, she is a flatland skier. But that will come. She really is making great progress for a 2 1/2 year old. After Zoe tired of skiing (twenty minutes or so) she and her grandparents rolled some snowballs in the back yard and made a snowman. After, we warmed up with hot chocolate and tea.
Zoe and I are going to go shopping for a sled today so that we can make a pulk so that when she gets tired of skiing, I can load her in and then get in a workout.

Hi,
Enjoyed looking at the snow pictures of you skiing etc. Zoe looks like she is having fun. Had a good trip to Arizona, and glad to be back home now.
Love to you all,
Grandpa Bill
