THIS IS SKIING!!!
Yesterday we got up early and drove about 40mi out to Holimont in Ellicottville, NY. Dad's friend Mary Claire is not just a glamorous schoolteacher, marathoner and all-around great person; she's also a ski instructor. So what could we say when she invited the Robinson boys out to Holimont to visit her at "work"? We had to say YES.
On the drive out we got our energy up listening to a little Marley in the car, so by the time we met up with MC, Raul was well ready to hit the slopes. We rented some skis and then took a shuttle bus over to the "magic carpet" area, where MC gave the Jewel a private lesson in the basics: the pizza, the "V" duck walk...and, um, that was about it. Soon enough Raul was shushing all day long!
Dad had to drag him away for lunch, and after pb&h sandwiches he was back at it!
At the end of the day he even went to the top of a bigger hill with MC in the "chairlifter"!
Mom says as soon as they get back to Seattle they'll go skiing in Vancouver! Let's make it happen!
Here's video and pics for everyone out there in Mundo Raul.
