Last weekend we celebrated the first signs of Winter in the Wasatch and took the kids up to Alta for some nordic skiing. We had a great time touring up a road to the base of an upper Alta lift. Going down was a little more interesting. Those skinny skis even make snowplowing hard! Finn loved it, except when I would almost lose my balance and go over and when I'd get going too fast. He was very interested in where Erika was, looking back and saying mmmmmmmmom.
Here are a few photos:

Family shot...Greely bowl in the background.One last note: Finn has taken after his mother - loving frogs. As I write this Finn has collected all of his frogs into one big pile - nine total! I asked him if there were any more and he brought his blanket with about 200 frogs on it! Smart boy.

Oh man- pictures of the Wastach this time of year are killing me. We tried to go skiing last weekend- we got some good turns in but ended up more wet than anything. Glad that the weather was good for your adventure with the kids. I would like to hop into that chariot-so fun for them!
What amazing pictures!! So beautiful! Looks like fun, especially for the kids riding in "the chariot". Is that what Finn rode in also? Cute frog story also, can't wait to see you guys again (should be alot sooner now that we are so close, or I should say closer)
Thanks for the update! Love all the shots, especially of Finn & Gretchen on the snow ~ you guys are so adventurous! Can't wait to hug him up in only 2 weeks.
