ski trip 2013

Posted by Aaron and Lisa

This past weekend we enjoyed a ski vacation with my side of the family. We have been anticipating this trip for months and it did not disappoint! Before we left it felt strange to be going skiing because of the time change and the warmer weather in Salem. But it was definitely still winter on the mountain, and it even snowed while we were there...beautiful! The skiing on Friday was perfect...not windy or too cold, the snow was great. The cabin we stayed in (it's our 2nd year in this particular one) was a perfect fit for all of us. We loved having Tasha with us.

The love birds...wedding is a a little more than a month away!

We played the Wii Just Dance game a lot together...thanks for the idea, Kristin :) I love it.

While there, we gave V and K a gift so that they could have something new to entertain them...it was the Doc Mcstuffins doctor bag...perfect for them. They played "doctor and nurse" the rest of the time. Everyone was so gracious to let them give check-ups. Dad went first.

There aren't many pictures of Hank because he was pretty cranky with an ear infection and bronchiolitis the whole weekend: not interested in having his picture taken :)

Everyone teamed up and took turns preparing meals this year. It worked out well so that mom wouldn't have to be in the kitchen all weekend.

Here's our little snow bunny! She loved skiing, and so did Kate! They both went out for a couple of hours on Friday to try it, and then on Sunday my Dad took Vivian by herself and Kate chose to stay in. But we were pleased with their interest in it. They both let go of hands a few times to try on their own. We are excited for how they will progress in the coming years and hopefully be able to ski with us each year!
