The Clardys Ski the Berkshires -- February, 2006
It was time for Ray and James to learn to ski. Where else to go but the Berkshires? Mary and Ray brought John for many years in the 80's. Now Mary and Ray and John and Chris brought Ray and James. Bousquet for the "never-ever" first day with lessons by Uncle John and dad; Jiminy the second day for real lessons.
