Hot Wheels

About 10 years ago, Katy started using hotwheelsskier as her AIM name. This was because she found the black run at Alpine Meadows that all the kids love and all the adults hate. It is a narrow twisty run that the kids can do relatively easy and the adults with longer skis have a harder time with it.

Well, today everyone in the family did it for the first time. Both Sam and Margaret loved it. This was a big day for the family, they are all skiing (Margaret boards) much better. Unfortunately, the second time down, I had a little mishap and tore my calf muscle. Pictures here. So for some members of the family it was the first time down Hot Wheels Gully, for others, maybe the last.

I am pretty proud of my kids that they are so much better than me at something so that I hurt myself trying to keep up with them (and not succeeding very well).

Margaret’s Birthday

We had Margaret’s birthday in Tahoe this year. It was ski week for us. The Wallins were up with us for her birthday.
