we ski (in connecticut)

And by "we" I mean everyone in the family except me.   I am not really a skier and I don't feel bad about it; but, I lounge in a ski hut like a champ. 

Last weekend, we wandered over to New Hartford, Connecticut to Ski Sundown.  Papa and the boys hadn't yet skied the snows of our own state, so we thought it might be worth the try. 

It was good fun.  Everyone skied at least one blue trail, and I drank a lot of coffee.

We were meant to try another Connecticut mountain (Mohawk) this weekend; but, everyone was sick, so we just celebrated Papa's birthday in our usual low-key way. 

Which is not a bad thing at all.
