$10.00 an A


A few weeks ago the tween came home handed me his report card and said, "that will be $10.00 an A please..." Yes just as we discussed. I took a double take at the report card realizing, I was looking at a 4.0- wow- honoring promises are hard, when someone proves you wrong.

Bombs are fun




How cool for the tween to spend the day with Uncle Ugly. N has a little bro that is a ski patrolman and the best skier I have ever met. When it came to pick a career day job shadow, is it any wonder who would be the most likely family member to look up to?
They looked for Avalanche beacons, and took a few runs, checked out the patrol shack, ate lunch, met other patrolmen..etc..oh yeah... learned about bombs!
What a fun day- well worth missing school!
