Sarah was really excited to meet you and she came home beaming with pride that you were having such a good time. Charlie truly benefits from being in such a progressive community. We're so lucky. <br /><br />You're an inspiration. Max had a great time because you made the effort to do your homework and find opportunities for him to succeed. You set him up to ROCK and by the looks of it, he really did! Congratulations.

(lower Berkshires, 2 & 1/2 hr drive from NYC) has an adaptive skiing program? <br /><br />We didn't do it for Jake this year because he seemed completely disinterested in skiing and Ethan was just learning, too. But I figure either later this year or next we'll talk him into it. It's not Western skiing, but a sweet, kid & beginners oriented program and the staff have been friendly and kind in general. (My in-laws have a house in GB so we go there regularly.) <br /><br />If you're interested email or DM me & I'll give you the SN / adaptive skiing contact info.Vardahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13542045802860922751noreply@blogger.com
