      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. ❤

    Love to see how involved Dad is in every aspect of the kid’s lives! You have a keeper. I will never forget how patient my Dad was as a father of 5 w/ us all a1.5 apart. I saw Mark w/ his teaching the boy’s how to cook & it reminded me of my Dad who passed 17 yrs ago. 🙏🙏🙏Blessing’s

I like that they earned money for specialized skis too, so they appreciate and value their investment. I can just see a young Violet pushing to keep up with her big brothers and them patiently teaching her. ❤ Lucky girl and family.

    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! ❤

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😊

    UGH!!! There is snow STILL in Alaska the end of May!!!!???😲 I got to say Alaskans are strong people! I am the beach bum type of person and I wouldn't survive a winter in Alaska! For one I am always cold even when the temperature is 50 degrees and 2nd I love sunny warm weather. I admire those who live in Alaska. The snow is fun that's for sure.
