Day 833 – Grayson’s Journey

Dear family and friends

We are back home in Glendale and Grayson is snuggled in his own bed tonight. I managed to get 2½ hours of ski time in this morning thanks to Regina. She took care of getting Grayson ready and getting things packed up to go. When I returned all I had to do was get my stuff and the gear packed up and change out of ski clothes for the drive home. We hit the road at 1:00 PM and were home by 6:30 PM.

We were surprised and thrilled to walk into the house to find dinner almost ready and a beautiful table set for us by Austin and Xixi. Talk about an unexpected pleasure!

Grayson was a love all day. It was one of those difficult days for him – everyone running around moving the things that have quickly become familiar, then cramming them into the car, followed by the people, then leaving – followed by 5 hours of driving. He always does well and we talk to him about where we are going so as to relieve any anxiety, but it still has to be hard to deal with that level of change in routine.

Grayson and I are planning to return to Mammoth in April for Springtacular an annual ski event sponsored by Disabled Sports Eastern Sierra (DSES). We will have at least one more visit to Mammoth provided they have snow!

Pax!
