Winter Ski Trips

When asked what memories I have of Carol in January, the first thing I think of is our ski trips.  Carol hated the cold weather.  But, one of her favorite memories of Vestavia High School was a ski trip with Young Life.  So, she was going to make sure our kids had some great memories--they were going skiing!

We did not have much money, so it was a challenge to pull this off.  What the kids probably did not know was that we had to borrow the gear from a bunch of different people.  It would have been impossible for anyone but Carol to keep track of it.  She had a method of making sure everything we borrowed came back.  Carol would take pictures of everything first and inventory the items. 

All of our pictures of our ski trips start with this:


and end with this:

Oh yeah, and I forgot to mention, Chester spent 2 weeks in a sewer pipe when we were on a vacation in Florida, he earned first class passage on every vacation since.  That complicated travel and accommodations quite a bit!
