Cross country skiing

We took Charlotte cross country skiing a couple of weeks ago when we were all off on a week of "staycation" (rhymes with vacation). For those of you unfamiliar with the term, a staycation is where you go on vacation in your own city. Apparently this has gained a lot more popularity with the economic downturn. We did a lot of nothing, which was nice and relaxing. We also found fun things to do that we don't normally have time to do.

Anyway, we thought we were going to be the ones skiing and put Charlotte in the backpack. But she found some ski poles and decided she needed to go. "These are just my size Mama! See?!" So we took her out on the trails first with us just in our boots. Then when she got tired we brought all her stuff back and rented our own and put her in the backpack.

So excited!

Trying it out.

She's doing it!

She decided she didn't like using the poles. She did awesome and had a great time!
