This weekend I did another nordic race. This one was 5k. There were 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12 year olds competing. Here we are at the start.
Here I am about half way through. Still looking strong.
Here I am with Dad, who also did a race. His was a bit longer.
I beat all the 7, 8, 9, and 10 year old boys, but some of the big kids beat me. I’ll get them next time.
The next day, after my soccer game, we all went backcountry skiing. We skinned up ‘The Cone’.
Dad found these nifty attachments for my downhill skis that allow me to skin up the mountain.
It was a gorgeous day, and we had a lot of fun.
This week we ate:
Steel cut oats with spicy black beans and tofu scramble,
Sichuan eggplant,
and Vietnamese coconut pancakes (which were a total fail, but we tried!).
I knew you’d beat those other kids but what about Dad? 😂
Good going on the Nordic race 👌 👍 I’m convinced you will definitely beat the older kids next time. Skin up the mountain ? Isn’t going down enough fun? It looked like a gorgeous ski day. Nice to not have to wear a ton of clothes.
no comment on foods😂🤪🫣
Gad to see that the skins and heel-lift bindings worked so well. Beautiful weather for all of your outdoor activities.
You all look SO happy!! Looking at your pics makes me smile! Your weather is so gorgeous!
Great race, Em …you’ve got the big kids next time!
Can’t wait to see you all next week.
