On the way there, the girls rode in one car while the boys rode in the other. I was a little worried that Maggie would not be able to handle the 11 hour drive, but she did it like a champ! We stopped every couple of hours because someone either had to potty, get something to drink/eat, or we needed gas. During those times I would take Maggie out of her carseat and let her stretch her legs a bit. She didn't mind getting back in her seat to continue the ride. Robin and I kept her entertained in the back seat with all her toys, and she even slept a bit. I must say she kept us a little entertained at times as well! Robin was lucky enough to be sitting on Maggie's right side. Everytime Maggie was done playing with a toy, she threw over into Robin's lap! haha
Once we got to our house, we unpacked, grabbed a bite of food, got our ski gear, and hit the hay! Thursday morning we got up bright and early and headed up the mountain to hit the slopes! Alicia, Chad, and Layton to ski lessons that morning. Layton of course picked up on skiing way faster than everyone else, and was skiing like a champ in no time! Robin, Clay, Jackson, Slade, and I headed off to do some easy runs so we could get back into the grove of things. They, meaning Jackson and Slade, took us on a green that was pretty steep at the beginning of the run. Well, I must say I'm not the BEST skiier, but I'm content at "pizzaing" and "french frying" my way down....I'm not one that needs to go fast! Lets just say I took a bad fall at the beginning, hurt my should pretty bad, and it took me a LONG time to get down, but I made it!
After that run, I went back to check on my mom and Maggie. We had bundled Maggie up in her ski gear and put her in her stroller, and Nana was pushing her around and watching the others take their ski lessons. I put Maggie down in the snow and let her play for a bit. She wasn't too sure about the snow, but she liked it! Once they ski class was over, we spent the rest of the day skiing around and had fun!
On Friday, we went back up to the mountain and all the boys skiied all day. Robin skiied half a day, but Alicia and I did not. My should was still hurting, and I didn't want to waste the money and then not be able to enjoy it. Alicia, Nana, Maggie, and I, rode the gondola up to the top of the mountain to see the view. It was beautiful! Once we got back down, we hung out and watched the others ski.
Saturday morning, we got up and headed over to Winter Wonderland Tubing Park. Now this was fun....they had about 8-10 different tubbing paths you could go down, and it was nice because they had a conveyer belt that took you to the top so you didn't have to drag your tube up there. Clay, Layton, Nana, Alicia, and myself did this for a few hours. It was pretty fun and Clay and I caught quite a bit of air on some of them! haha That afternoon we went into town shopping and hit up the casino, however, I came home broke! haha
That evening we packed everything up and headed out early Sunday morning. We got back to EC around 6pm. It was a nice, quick vacation!
