An unusual snow storm in late November had left about 15 cm
of fluffy snow - perfect for an early season ski. Grandpa call Sam and invited him and David to
go skiing at P10 with Maman. They had to
go in the morning, because Grandpa had an appointment in the afternoon. Fortunately for all of us, Grant decided to
come too, as we sure needed his pulling power.
We brought some poles, but Maman did not think it wise to
use them. David was asleep in the
Chariot while Grant pulled him. Sam went
by himself up the Fortune Parkway . After a while, Sam was encouraged to hold on
to the back of the Chariot while Grant pulled.
Sam tired of this so we decided to try the tow bar and rope
which Grandpa had brought. Sam did not find this
enjoyable either. Returning was
suggested, but Sam really wanted to get to Keogans. So after some negotiation, he got into the
Chariot with David, and Grant pulled them both the rest of the way.
We had quick lunch at
the lodge, while Sam watched the maintenance man ride his Skidoo.
After lunch, Maman put both boys in the Chariot for the ride
back. David was not pleased, and let
everyone know. At the top of the big
downhill, Sam jumped out and put on his skis.
Grandpa and Grant each took a hand and they zoomed to the bottom of the
hill by the parking lot.
While Maman put the now happy David in his car seat, Sam
tried pulling the Chariot himself. What
a great day. And Grandpa even saw some
old friends on the trail.
