Grandpa & I went x-country skiing Saturday morning and I recorded him so you can see one of his techniques - He calls it skating even though it's on x-country skis. :)
Look at the pattern he makes in the snow as he goes - pretty cool, isn't it?!
Long ago, when our children (your parents) were younger, we used to take them x-country skiing whenever there was good snow on the ground. We had so much fun skiing together. One of the best things about snow and cold is being able to play in the snow together with your family. I love to look at your family blogs and see you having fun in the snow.
Have any of you ever seen anyone x-country ski? We hope that someday we can ski with each of you because we love to ski and we love to be with you.
Here's a link to some x-country skiing coloring pages that you can print and color: http://www.printactivities.com/ColoringPages/Skiing-Coloring-Pages/Woman-Crosscountry-Skiing.html

Sorry-we haven't visited this blog in forever! We'll keep in touch wiht it more often from now on. Tyler and Emalyn said "That's so cool!" when they saw the videos of Grandpa skating. As for me, I just wish I could have gone with you! Some of my most fun memories with Dad are from cross-country skiing with him. Love you!
Wow Dad! I never really got what you meant by "skating" until now. Good to know all these years later!
