IT'S PRETTY COOL. This weekend Henry's hockey team participated in the 6th Annual (yes, they've had that many) 10-and-Under hockey tournament that is held every spring in the French ski resort of Alpe d'Huez. 8 teams competed from France, Switzerland, and Italy and Henry played with the 8-and-under team and had what he called "an awesome" time. That's a great way to describe it even though his team finished without a win and was outscored by...well, a lot. But Henry was just happy to be skating around, shooting pucks, and watching other kids his age play. He got to celebrate a couple of goals of his own so that added to the fun.

| Yes, the kids loved the eye-black the coaches gave them. It really was bright and sunny. |

| The road is much steeper than it looks on T.V. -- if that's possible. Brutal in places. |
