Gabe loves being in orchestra and playing the violin. He's played for 4 yrs now, so I guess he's happy with it. His Dad and I tried to convince him that band was better, but he was sure that violin was cool! We are very proud of him. This year the Curtis Jr High orchestra competed in the Mt Hood Festival in Oregon. They had a great time and even stayed overnight!
I stayed at Summit Central with the boys while they had their lesson (and finished reading the 1st Percy Jackson book!), while Daniel took Carly to the Tubing Center. They had a great time.
Sam decided he wasn't ready for the chair lift, so he stayed on the beginning slope and practiced.
Gabe found a friend from class and they were having a blast on their boards. Here they are on the chair lift.
Here's a video of Gabe snow-boarding. He falls a lot at first, but gets a good ride at the end. Looking forward to Lesson 3!
