Saturdays Steal the Show




The three older kids are participating in the Jackrabbit Cross Country Skiing program at a nearby park.  It is two hours every Saturday, during which time the kids learn the skills of this activity.  The group organizes scavenger hunts, obstacle courses and fun lessons.  The leaders love the sport and the kids which totally comes across.  Each week they learn more, become more confident and enjoy it even more.  In fact most weeks they wish that it lasted longer.
Today there was a mini race, low pressure with focus on personal best.  The track was 2km long, with lots of hills and turns.  Elias came in first for his group, which was particularly nice since it was his birthday.  All three of them crossed the finish line with smiles and praises for how fun (and hot) that was.
