Thursday, Friday and Saturday we took turns skiing and watching kids. The men took the first 1.5 hours of the first day on their own to do guy stuff. The next day, I joined them and skiied my heart out! It was out of my comfort level, but I had such a fun time zipping through trees and hard spots with them. The women had a few runs together, and of course the kids skiied every afternoon. Usually 2 people were back with the little ones (Lexi, Keira and Jensen) at all times. Once, Brian watched the little ones so Jordana could ski with Gibb and the kids, along with me, Van Ormans and the kids. It worked out really well, and I don't think anyone felt left behind or stuck at the house. We worked together to help kids, make lunch and keep those who were staying at the house happy. Jordana was super smart and brought a big bag of dollar store toys that Keira and Lexi got to pick from when the big kids went skiing. They were the only ones we were worried about for feeling left out. Brian did take Lexi skiing for a little bit to try it but other than that, they stayed at the house. And they really didn't mind!! Those 2 are so happy to play and play together!! and Jensen is just a happy little kid to do his own thing!
In the evening, we each took a turn at being in charge of dinner (3 dinners, 3 families- perfect!) and we enjoyed the hot tub, reading books, lounging, talking, eating treats, then when the kids went to bed- lots and lots of games!! So fun!! ("things in a box" was the hit game this week!)
Brian and I got the master suite this time. Van Ormans got it in May on our adult trip, and there was a bigger bedroom in the basement that had a king and a queen in it that Fitzners chose.
the last hour on the first day, Brian and I skiied alone while Jordana and Averley watched the kids!
the big kids were all exhausted!
Skiing with the girls!!
