I miss it! Can't wait to come visit you. I've been working on Russian and can now say "milk". Oh yes, "moloko" will get me far. :)Stephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07149597353406544813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4234474589015691064.post-72629527035315989592012-02-08T06:23:52.451-08:002012-02-08T06:23:52.451-08:00Thanks, Jill.

Classic is with the skis parallel, the traditional skiing you've seen. Skate skiing uses different skis made for basically skating along a groomed trail. It's like ice skating on cross-country skis, sorta. If we ever get any snow, I'll show you sometime at the golf course, and you'll LOVE IT, whether you want to or not! :)Stephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07149597353406544813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4234474589015691064.post-59831690893249790572012-02-08T06:20:31.849-08:002012-02-08T06:20:31.849-08:00That is SOOOO tempting, Sarah!

That Saturday is a stake meeting I need to attend...Tell you what, next time we go I'll let you know, and next time you go let me know, and we'll see if we can work it out. :) I hope you've read "The Gruffalo's Child", too.

Just another name for cross-country skiing? I guess I grew up in the wrong part of the country (southern arizona) to know anything about winter sports.

Ms Leah is still riding in the Chariot, but not happy about it. I'm hoping to leave the kids home with Tim some Saturday and have a ski day at adult pace instead of 4 year old pace. Interested?
