Fun and games ruled our 4-H Ski Club meeting yesterday with a decision that next week we'll be doing some skiing on the trail.

We did a review of basic skills for the newbies that included falling down and getting back up.

Then the kids played a push-the-ball game with badminton rackets. Those rackets get more use during the winter than they do any other time of year.

And of course we had to play a round of the well-loved Amoeba Tag game (the "it" person tags another and then that player has to hook arms and ski together to tag others). Players only wear one ski and by the end of the game everyone is out of breath not only from skiing, but from laughing.

But the most requested game again this year is skiing through hoola hoops. Even the adults can do it (Fino missed getting a clip of me but he caught another dad's success with the activity).
