We went out to Western Mass and skied at Berkshire East on Saturday and Catamount on Sunday. As usual, Sidney’s happiest pictures were on the mountain and Riley’s happiest pictures were off of it (notably heading down to the hotel pool!) And they both enjoyed the yummy drinks (strawberry virgin piƱa colada shown in the picture…) at dinner on Saturday night.

Riley and I discovered a loose branch hanging from a tree in our backyard. We got Bradley and Sidney involved and proceeded to chuck all manner of soccer balls, frisbees, sticks and anything else we could find at it, attempting to break it free. The branch was pretty stuck so we were unsuccessful, but we had great success at getting outside and laughing a lot at our inability to kick a ball straight. And this is the sort of memory I would typically forget after a few months, so I am putting it here to remind myself of the many mundane but fun days we have enjoyed together.
