Today is the first day of the school's weekly ski program. Don't misunderstand me; I love the ski program. It is a great benefit to living here. Where else can you get free weekly ski instruction for your kids? (OK, so you do have to pay for the skis. But the mountain offers a $50 rental that covers boots and skis for every day the school skis for the entire season. And another shop offers $99 rentals that you can keep for four months and use daily if you want.)
However, here is what we had to gather and send to school with the kids this morning (multiply by three):
- Two ski boots
- Two poles
- Two skis
- Helmet
- Goggles
- Warm coat
- Two mittens
- Snow pants
- Ski socks
- Neck warmer or scarf
- Duffle bag to carry it all in
And we have to do this every Friday. Until April.

All of which has to be labeled. All of which needs to come back home again. (That last one is harder than it sounds.)
I don't know, when you put it like that, and knowing our kids, it's a miracle that they ever come home with all their gear.
