The Mook went over the Mountain

We were a skiing family at Lake Louise yesterday. Sarah continues to impress her coaches with how hard she tries and what a great little skier she is. The head coach told a very proud Dad that, "Sarah was rippin' down the hill."

Alison (a.k.a. Mook) skied with her parents. She went all the way to the top - up the Glacier Chair and the Top of the World (over 10 000ft/3000m length, 2800ft/850m vertical) and skied all the way down the other side, back up the Ptarmigan chair, and all the way down again (except for the part where she was tired and cranky and convinced she could no longer do it, but she did it anyway).

So for this feat, I composed a little ditty entitled "The Mook Went over the Mountain" If you know "The Bear went over the mountain," then you are familiar with the tune. Her song goes like this:

The Mook went over the mountain,
The Mook went over the mountain,
The Mook went over the mountain,
To ski down the other side.

She skied down the other side,
She skied down the other side,
The Mook went over the mountain,
and she skied down the other side.
