It was snowing when Spring Break started this year, so I had a stroke of brilliance and decided we might as well take advantage of it and take the kids skiing. What a great idea! We invited Darrel's dad and he told us the outing would be his treat (an even better idea!). It looked as though most people escaped to sunnier climes to enjoy the break as we pretty much had the mountain to ourselves. We had a great time, despite the fact that Spencer started manifesting some sort of virus by throwing up when we got there. He didn't want to let the opportunity to ski go to waste, though, so between trips to obscure spots in the trees and one garbage can, he skied his little heart out. Now that's a tough kid. He can keep up with me pretty well on the easier runs now and this is only his fourth time, I think. I wish I could pick up on anything that easily! Grace did a great job on the bunny hill with Darrel and later me. When Spence had enough he and Darrel went to the car and Grace stayed with me until everyone was ready to go. I think she could have kept going until the sun went down! Now, I'm going to try to post some pictures of the event. Wish me luck...O.K., well they are not posting like I expected, but I suppose I'll figure it out sometime. At least they are there.

do you think if i invited your father-in-law to go skiing with the fam, he would still offer to let it be his treat? i hope so. too bad for spence, though. sounds like you survived your spring break ... way to go!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you have a blog!! I'm trying to do better with mine, but I just got called to be in the primary pres... so I'm not sure how much time I'll have. I hoping to do at least 1 or 2 a month though. I love all the pictures, and I really wish we had "Utah snow" here. When we go skiing we usually end up wringing out our snow suits after a few runs. By the way I totally relate to your conference weekend, ours was about as awesome.
ReplyDeleteWe love you!
What a fun Spring break! It looked so peaceful up there.
