"Look at the snow!" Gordon cheered, when their car came to a halt outside the cabin.

John surveyed the hills. "Can we go sledding?"

"First thing tomorrow," Jeff confirmed, taking a fast-asleep Alan out of his car seat.

"Mom, can you teach me how to ski?" Scott questioned.

"Yes," Lucille answered, opening up the boot of the vehicle and pulling out a box. "that's why we've bought you these!"

Scott peeked inside the box. "My own skis, cool… Thanks mom, thanks dad!"

"Are you happy with your choice Virgil?"

Virgil gazed around in wonder. "It'll be the best holiday ever!"
