Storm Troopers

We are taking the boys on their first real ski trip in February. We are going to ATTEMPT (key word) to ski in Canada at Whistler, British Columbia. Chuck and I are a little apprehensive at how the boys will do in ski school in 20 below weather with all the garb they have to wear. So, we are taking them to "practice" skiing this weekend in St. Louis where they have fake snow.

We have been practicing wearing our bibs, mittens, coats, long johns, neck gaitors, and finally, helmets and goggles. I was most worried about that. I was afraid that they would boycott, but they think they are the coolest baddest beings on the planet! They call themselves Rescue Heroes, but secretly, I think they look just like storm troopers!

Don't they look like they could save the planet???
