Hitting the Slopes


This weekend we made our annual pilgrimage up North to go skiing with my family. Joining us were: Mema, Ampa, Brian, Mary, Sophia and MAK. The conditions were nice and both days were beautiful. This weekend also marked the 60th Anniversary of Boyne Mountain and there were several events planed to celebrate the occasion. Friday night we hit the slopes after our long day of packing and driving. On Saturday, we all went outside to watch the fireworks that the mountain put on for my mom's birthday. What a surprise, she said it was the first time she watched fireworks on her birthday. Emma skied more than any of us including going out for about hour by herself. She had a blast despite several arguments with mom and dad on the slopes. Hannah also enjoyed herself; however, she was not as independent as her younger sister. Both Sophia and MAK were awesome all weekend and did very well in the condo. Brian took all the kiddos to the indoor/outdoor pool while the rest of us skied. What a good uncle. After skiing each night we hung out and played games. We brought our Wii and Ampa enjoyed playing Golf and Mema beat Brian and I at Bowling. Overall we had a great weekend but, we all missed Caleb and Grace who stayed back to spend time with Nana.

Happy Birthday Mom and thanks for a great weekend!
