Zam the Cross-Country Skiing Machine!

Zam discovered a new passion a couple of weeks ago -- cross-country skiing! We have had these wee skis for a while now (given to us by some friends) and Zam was initially very excited about trying them out (in summer). Then he got the idea that it might be too difficult and didn't want to give skiing a try. However, a couple of weeks ago he stepped out of his comfort zone and gave it a whirl. Now he is hooked! Once he is out there he doesn't want to stop. While he is skiing (and in between numerous wipe outs) he states over and over again that he is having "soooo much fun!" The look of joy on his face while he is skiing is quite inspiring. And the best part of his new found passion is that we don't have to go far to do it. This picture is taken in Zam's school yard which (as many of you already know or have seen) is right behind our house!
