After working the fancy off the last few months getting ready for our mommy retreats–we planned a fun little family get away to see extended family and have a little fun in Park City. Minus mommy being out of shape and needing Tylenol after just a few runs–we’ve had a blast. We’ve squeezed in ski school, lots of hot chocolate, a cousin’s birthday party and lots of laughter together. My kiddos are way braver than I was I’m afraid at their age. Here are a few pictures from our fun…
Frankie baby and daddy getting ready to show daddy what he learned in ski school…
Frankie baby…so proud of him and how well he is doing!
Loo bear finishing up with her instructor…
Loo bear practicing on the bunny slope…
Cousin Jason with his crew and Rico with Frankie baby…
Then we headed in for to celebrate one of Jason’s boy’s birthdays! A little pool, bingo and ping pong to finish off our day!
Alright! So that’s a wrap because tomorrow is another full day! LOVE getting to see Rico Suave in his element–and watching him laugh with a cousin that he grew up coming to visit every winter to have this same fun. So thankful for Rich’s family that takes such good care of us while we are here–and truly goes over the top to care for our family. And thankful they are so patient with this momma that did NOT grow up skiing so I’m quite the site to ski with I’m afraid as I shout down the greens “WATCH OUT”…”DANGEROUS LADY COMING”…and other phrases to help protect children or innocent skiers in my path.
Today I survived and even managed to laugh through it…and seriously had some fun–although I’ll admit my most favorite part of today was the hot chocolate and turkey chili:) At heart–this momma isn’t a skier I’m afraid but going to sip my hot chocolate and let Rico Suave give them the same sweet memories he had as a child and try not to shout too many “be carefuls” and such while I sit back and enjoy our family time…on a much needed time away together. We have lots of changes ahead that will mean lots of hunkering down to help a new one heal and connect with our crazy crew–and I’m so thankful for this time together just to unwind and have a little fun while connecting with extended family that we love dearly!
Determined to get some pictures of Parker skiing tomorrow too. He has come out with his dad to ski before so his lessons today were on the side of the mountain that this momma doesn’t dare to go:) Determined to get some pictures of him tomorrow to document his fun too.
Now…off to find some Tylenol. I’m getting old. Either that–or I need to workout;).
xoxo.
