Taking to the Slopes in February

Philip Gets Quality Time With the Grandparents
While the Rest of Us Head for North Carolina

Mom and the boys at the top of Sugar Mountain, in North Carolina  In February 1999, we threw caution to the wind and headed for the hills of North Carolina for a ski trip with the boys, while Philip stayed at home with grandparents for a week of undivided attention. Neither of the boys had ever been skiing before, so it was with interest (more like awe!) that we watched them take to it immediately, and head for the black diamond slopes without a second thought. It was a great time, made even better by the fact that we got snowed on several times while we were there. Up until that point several of the local slopes had even had to close down for lack of snow!
