Day 3 - Dad gets a new boot after half a day of skiing.

3"+ of fresh powder fell last night. Dad and I headed out at 8:30 to hit the runs. It seemed like a lot more than three inches, and it took a lot of getting used to, Bring back the corduroy. After Sara was done with her conference we headed over to Sara's favorite run...Green Cabin. Green cabin had a lot of fresh snow on the trails and we were some of the first people on this trail. The fresh snow turned out to be dificult for Dad, after several falls, he finally fell and twisted his ankle. I headed down to an emergency phone to call for help, Dad got to ride down in the sled (he said it was not a pleasant ride) We are hoping that the sprain is not too bad and maybe he can ski again, after all, theses boots are really stiff right.

Sam! I am jealous that you are skiing! How fun. This is where the two kids thing is more like a ball and chain. I would LOVE to be skiing instead sometimes! :)

Tell Uncle Sam I hope he feels better. That stinks about his ankle. Have a great rest of vacation!

That sucks about your dad, I hope he heals quick. Give him my best.

(maybe he could hook up with some MLB trainers and get a 'kick' start on the healing process, i'm sure they are looking for new clients)
