Skiing.

When our oldest was about 3 yo, I remember we bought her mini skis and were so anxious to teach her skiing. It didn't go too well, as she was too little and definitely not ready for that. Mirek had taught we a few years back and before the kids we used to drive for 3 hours for a skiing retreat just because it was so much cheaper.

We both love skiing. But lately we were not able to ski a lot. Mirek went once, I think, last winter with a childhood friend who came for a visit. And me... oh , well, I guess I just have to be a bit more patient. And this winter we have not gone skiing either, except for when the spring has started knocking at the door. The tickets got cheaper because the season is almost over, there is still plenty of snow on the mountain, and Ivana has been begging to go skiing now. It took her only a few years to mature and get excited about learning to ski.
So, that was her first time up on the lift going to have fun at the top of the mountain.
And since I don't like to leave the rest of the crew behind, we kind of hung out by the lift and cheered for Tata and Ivana, waited for them to come down and then headed home to cook dinner and wait for our skiers to come back from their adventure.
They came back a few hours later, exhausted, but very happy and were telling us all about their day (more like "night") of skiing fun.
Apparently, by mistake they ended up on a Black Diamond slope, and managed to get down in one piece. Ivana was doing a great job later in the evening, and was getting more and more confident. And as a addition to all the fun they had had they saw a shooting star. I got double jealous, as I had never seen one.
It was supposed to be my turn to take her again the next week, but it does not look like it. Patience, is a virtue. Till next season...ah
