4 or 5 years ago I became the Coordinator of Jason's friends & family's annual ski trip. Pick a weekend, book the hotel, buy lift tickets and enjoy the weekend! Not too difficult. The group is expanding (well, kinda) and we have lots of little kids now, so I am officially renaming it Ski & Waterpark Weekend. That suits me better anyway because I'm not really inclined to throw myself down a large hill, on skinny rails, and stay safely in control.
Normally we have 20+ skiiers and overall group of 30 people. This year there were a bunch of scheduling conflicts, so the gathering was small...8 skiiers and 18 people overall. But we still had lots of fun!!
I took Ryan to Cascade to see Dad ski. We're assuming that he'll want to learn in a couple of years, so this was a chance to check it out. Jason took 2 runs and Ryan would have been content to see him take several more. He thought it was pretty cool.
And back at the waterpark....here's Abby in her 4th swimsuit of the weekend playing with soon-to-be Uncle Chris & Aunt Ashley. Cutie!!
Cousins in their inner tubes..having a ball! Ryan, Ayden & Abby
Brandon liked the water too! Grandma was helping him float on his back.
Aynn, Ryleigh Mike & Ayden!! The whirlpool was nice & cozy.
The Springborn-Peterson-Boyd family! Angie, her sister Ashley, Brynn, Abby, Doug & Ashley's fiance, Chris
On Sunday a.m. I was very surprised when Ryan was the first one to suggest that he go down this big slide. Keep in mind that Friday afternoon he wouldn't go down a much smaller slide without Mom or Dad. So we made big strides this weekend! Too bad I wasn't fast enough to take the picture before he hit the water.
Ryleigh & Ayden chillin' with Dad
All the kids got these silly antlers at MooseJaw restaur-nant (as Ryan pronounces it). Ayden, Ryan, Abby, Ryleigh, Brandon & Brynn
The babies had fun splashing too!! Angie with Brynn, Ryan, Brandon & Abby
And the BIG kids had fun too!! Mike & Doug making waves with Ayden
How many kids can you fit into this shell?....FOUR!
Ryleigh on the go!
SuperStar Ashley with the kiddos!! She doesn't have any of her own (yet) but is soooo good with ours. We really appreciate all the trips down the slide she took with the 3, going on 4, year olds.
Abby crusin' down the slide!
Here's a group shot....Kim, Angie, Mike, Brandon, Ryleigh, Abby, Brynn, Ryan, Doug, Aynn & Ayden. QUICK - who's missing??
Jason! He was skiing.
Here's a silly video I shot with our point-n-shoot. The water is so loud in the room that you can't hear the kids, but it's fun to see them playing.
