The W-H-O-L-E crew!
Bryan and I swapped skiing to accommodate Mr. Myles. It worked well because the Coppins were in the same boat we were with having a baby to schedule around. Girls skied in the morning. Around lunch time, the boys drove up and met us at the lodge. The boys went on to conquer the mountain and the girls headed back to the cabin for an afternoon rest. It worked pretty smoothly considering we were switching cars, gear and kids! :)
Emma and Kennedy
Snow Angels on the way to the chair lift that was "so so so so far away."
I think Emma enjoyed the chair lift more than the actual skiing. I had lots of goodies in my pockets to ensure that we were both having a great time.
Kennedy, Edison and Emma.
Charlie and Luke.
Parker.
Bryan was a good sport and tried it out with his snowboard. We learned that we will rent skis for Bryan next time. Little tricky to teach skiing when one foot is locked in on your snowboard. Sounded like it was still a successful day on the slopes.
We rounded the day out with smores for dessert that night.
The next morning, we enjoyed a slow start to the day.
Whitney came up with a cute General Conference Bingo that each of the kids loved.
There were lots of puzzles, games and imaginary play going on.
These two were following each other around by the end of the weekend.
The men took the kids on a hike in between sessions to avoid cabin fever.
The afternoon session turned into naps for the adults and party time for the kids.
After nap/party time we headed to the "Poor Man's Hot Springs."
Guys proving how tough they are in the cold river.
Ladies' turn.
Get us talking about something (anything) and it turned out that we lasted longer than the guys.
The men bonded and headed to the Priesthood Session that evening.
These three had even more bonding over the griddle each day making at least one or two meals,
The "Sister Wives" :) managed to get all of the kids bathed and to bed so we could enjoy our dinner together with just the adults when the men returned.
We ate an incredible breakfast Sunday and hit the road around noon. It was the perfect weekend away with great friends. Thank you Cramer (and Bowman) Family!
Saw this guy on the way home and it cracked me up. Who wouldn't want to try this out?!? Think he could make one for a family of 5???
