This last weekend was our annual ski trip to the UP, our 7th consecutive year! It was a really fun trip as always! My Mom was able to be with us this year and experience the weekend with all 8 of us! We stayed at the cottage with her and Tom this year as usual. We brought Owen and Grace along and Owen stayed behind with Grandma and Grandpa while Grace decided she wanted to ski with us both days! We started out on Friday at Blackjack and I took Grace down a small hill where she had quite a tumble and was having a hard time finding her balance afterward. We decided to get her a 1 1/2hr. lesson. About 45min. into the lesson I caught up with her and she was cruising down the hill with comfort and ease. There after she didn't want to stop skiing. The second day we went to Indianhead where she skied right along with the whole group even venturing down some black diamond runs with the boys!!
We had beautiful weather for the trip 40 degrees and sunny! It was so nice I couldn't even stand to wear my ski jacket and wore a light weight spring coat! The girls and I enjoyed a couple pitchers of beer out on the sun deck of the bar at the bottom of the hill on Saturday and I really felt like I was on vacation!!
We all made it home in one piece from the two days of skiing. Aaron won the trophy for the 3rd time in 7 years. He took a nice tumble racing Joe down the hill for a beer!! I had one fall trying to do my thing in the terrain park! As always we enjoyed all being together again along with many stories to tell in the future!!
