Behind the Times: Part II

If it weren't for GK taking the files to school to his speedy computer, you may never have seen these photos. As I always say... Better late than so early you get bored. Me and GK skiing. I went with him twice and in between he went once with my brother Paul and by our second time together, he was a pro.

Van's first time sledding. We took two pictures. One of us moving down the hill and one of us still and we couldn't tell the difference. I guess you could say we weren't moving very fast.

But it was a pretty big hill and he seemed nervous about it. So I trekked up by myself to show him it wasn't as scary as it looked.

Thought some more

It wasn't until later that we realized maybe we just went on too tame a part of the hill. He was mesmerized by this video of extreme skiing. You should see him in his doorway bouncer. He's definitely an extreme jumper.

Maybe someday he'll grow up to be like his cousin Matix who couldn't get enough of the sledding when we went on Christmas day (provided that Eddie would pull him back up the hill). Van slept through that outing.

Pops (GK's dad) was a little reluctant to go with the rest of us sledding (Bubba, Adam, Me, Cherrie, Matix, Pops... and GK taking the picture... not sure where Eddie is in this one).

But he was the first one on and the last one on the hill. He was an animal!
