before we talk about that lets recap the last two months..
winter came and stayed for a while... we took advantage of the cold and snowy conditions and hit the slopes with family , more family and a few friends. It started with the valentine's day storm Uncle mark , Aunt pang , Christopher and Alyssa came for a 3 day visit to Bolton and Jay Peak. We had great time hitting the slopes and enjoying some family time... Next came a tiny warm up and then Aunt Betsy, Uncle Andrew, Charlotte and Nathaniel for a 3 day visit where we skied Sugarbush .. Unfortunately Uncle Andrew in an desperate act of bravery to save henry's ski pole caught his finger in the chair . one dislocation of pinky and . an emergency procedure latter and he was good as new. .. although betsy and Andrew seemed to be complaining of sore backs and knees... I am worried about them..
In between we also had my friend Paulie (see last feb's blog for more info on him) along with his son soren... We enjoyed a visit along with a renewal of our 5 guys night at Uncle Kev's house.. the high light... an international bubble hockey tourney where Switzerland took on Russia in the finale...not without controversy as the Russian goalie had a slight modification to the plastic puck deflector behind him.. the match is still under protest...
March came in like a lion and stayed leaving us with the coldest ... yes coldest march on record. On march 12th we had one of the largest snowstorms in March history .. over 20 inches.. what to do.. well ski some more.. which I did... hitting Bolton up for more and more.. runs.. I also caught sugarbush for a couple more visits and finally got uncle kevin out on the slopes..
Henry celebrated his 8th birthday in march with a couple of his closest friends and an Lego Movie event including movie passes, tour, pizza and cup cakes.. a "legendary" birthday for sure.. (see how I met your mother's last show this year) ...Aimee the super cake maker didn't get involved on this one but she did make a Minecraft cake for the cub scouts charity cake auction .. this cake incidentally made over 75 dollars as myself and another participant got into a intense bidding war for the "best cake of the auction".. Aimee is the Frost family "cake boss".. don't mess with her .. Next up .. Willy's fourth birthday although she did promise me she would stay 3 this year... I am afraid she may be just being nice to dada.. but I can hope...
Later in march we also visited aunt betsy for her birthday and some sap sipping.. after a couple of years ,finally uncle Andrew is getting the hang of it and his syrup is actually close to Vermont's quality
so.. I said there was some new happenings... well it turns out my cgi experiment was just that.. unfortunately CGI's contract with Vermont was terminated and I am now in search of new opportunities .... in the mean time I have hit the slopes with a vengeance and start to write my next chapter in life...
hope you all are well.. come for a visit ,, stay a while...
enjoy Vermont
