Go Jack Go

Saturdays are laundry day, so I load up the sled and put on my skis. I pull the sled and Jack pulls me. It is actually a very efficient way to get around the village. I love that I can step out our door and ski.

The kids are very interested in how Jack pulls us around on skis (no one else ski jours in the village) and today one of the little girls asked to give it a try. She was very brave, even when Jack took off after a snowshoe hare and was running at mach 5. She held on for dear life and amazingly kept her balance for quite awhile. When she wrecked, she lay on the ground laughing, “I got him to stop!” Yes, she sure did. Not only do kids learn to ski much faster than adults, they also take falls a whole lot better too! Actually, Jack did very well following her commands to stop and go, except when the hare appeared. He just can’t resist chasing rabbits.
