<\/p>\n
Beautifully simple day. Gabe and I left home at 6:30 this morning for a snowboarding meet in Waterville New Hampshire. Gabe is riding with the Mount Mansfield Snowboard team from Stowe.. It was about a two and a half hour drive.. . It was cool watching the sun rise… I generally only see that If I’ve stayed up .. Gabe and I talked about music, physics and snowboarding the whole way there.. <\/p>\n

Despite a late start, we got there in plenty of time for Gabe ot sign up for the competition.\u00a0\u00a0 Waterville is cmall ski and boarding place a little bigger than Bolton.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

It was a perfect day.. and the place was packed.. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

The competition today was mostly about fun. It was sponsored by Transworld Snowboarding magazine, a bunch of gear makers and High cascade.. the snowboarding camp that Gabe and Sam have gone to. Today they even had a s’more stove in the shape of High Cascade’s mascot.. a giant marshmallow. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Gabe, Dylan and the gang spent some time checking out the terrain park.. here they are at the top of the hump rail. basically a set of concrete stairs out in the snow…<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

I stuck a samstone in the rail near a picture of Sean White.. I once gave Sean a Samstone. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Gabe had a good day out there.. he’s gotten some serious skills in the last year..\u00a0\u00a0 Here he is on one of the down rails.. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Soem of the older kids were doing some extreme stuff. her’s Gabe’s friend Dylan on his way to being upside down.. (I shut my eyes) <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Gabe managed to badly jam his middle finger on his first run today.. After the competition I watched him make a splint out of two plastic forks and a plastic bag.. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Later on, he replaced the plastic bag with a sticker.. Here he is showing it to me.. or at least, that’s what I think<\/i> he’s doing here. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Around four Gabe went off with the other 8 kids in the team. they’re spending the night in a hotel in Concord\u00a0 so they cna go to another event tomorrow. Sounds like a party tonight !<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

The drive home by myself was very peaceful I took the route thorough Franconia\u00a0 notch.. so beautiful.. sorry the pictures suck. as I took them while driving. but it’s really spectacular.. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I got home around 7 to a peaceful house.. We all\u00a0 curled up on the couch after Dinner…<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Now it’s not even 10 and I’m going up to sleep.. .. .<\/p>\n

I have few days that are this quiet and peceful.. so I savor them when<\/p>\n

they come.. <\/p>\n

Nite folks.. nite Sam !<\/p>\n
