    Yes agree but I think that you have set a great example and they will continue being active all their lives. I have found this to be true in my family. As I grew up we were always doing some kind of sport and this has continued as we have aged and our children and grandchildren are all very active. ❤

    My Dad who had 7 of us crazy kids, would have been skeet shootng to win our Thanksgiving turkey lol while we all got freezing cold skiing, riding the sleds, ( no snowboards yet, it was the 70s!) and ice skating. There was a Navy sponsored ski/snow fun area near the base on Kodiak. This was before it switched to Coast Guard, my Dad was actually one of the officers to help with the transition! Looks like so much fun Mark and trust me, i'm living proof your boys will never forget😊

    Oh man, I have never wished more that I had grown up in Alaska! This looked like so much fun! I, though, grew up in NW Florida and skiing was not anything possible for me. Now I do live in the NW but I am old and decrepit, lol, so still not possible. If I could go back a few decades, this would be something I would make happen. Just amazing. Your boys have no idea just how fortunate they are to have such opportunities AND Mark for a dad! ❤
