Ski day at Nubs Nob

Day 2 of our after-Christmas ski trip. It's so nice to have the week off of work as the new year is beginning, not worrying too much about the house being cluttered with opened presents, and wrapping paper (still) and of course the decorations that we love so much, but end up wearing out their welcome after a month :) I'm always sad to see the decorations go, but there is something to be said about that feeling of great organization when they get packed away and a cleaning frenzy begins!
We decided to get full lifts for the kids instead of just sticking to the free beginner area.  That worked out good.  The kids also got to partake in our "bad junk food" menu for lunch - Little Debbies!!



When we were skiing at Nubs Nob today, these highlights occurred:
* Zachary no longer needs his edgie-wedgies!! yahoo!

* The kids skied their first blue runs - well, by mistake, but still, they did it!
* Alan ran into a kid while he was skiing backwards!
* Sydney's boot buckle broke off her boots and we needed to rent skis & boots for her :(

* Zachary ran into a tree! Luckily it was only his leg that hit it, but he still got his ski knocked off and he fell down :)
* I jumped off a chair lift while trying not to "land" on Zachary getting off the lift!
Finish it off with a late dinner at Lou's Pizza, meeting up with Dawn and her cousin, and it was a big day indeed! That must be why Alan fell asleep at 9:30 :)
