We went to New Mexico for some family time and snow skiing! It was such a blast! All the kids skied but really only the older two enjoyed it. Really, Blaine loved it the most and he's our most passive, easy going one. I kind of thought he would just take it or leave it. Brandon was cautious but he did have a great time. Britton, on the first day, after falling a lot, told me in a pitiful tone that he just wanted all the snow to melt right then. Gracelyn was a trooper, while she didn't have a blast, she still did her best and skied holding onto me or between Ryan's legs.
after our hair appointment that morning, we were ready!

Brandon set out to complete all of his school work on the way. He did.
Day 1: nervous but ready!
waiting for the shuttle right outside our condo!
Blaine!
Gracelyn and dad, this is how she skied most and why her dad's back hurt

Brandon
This conveyor belt took us to the top of the bunny slope.
It was a HUGE help and so much fun for the kids.
Games, games, games!
We only got out once to to the grocery store and for souvenirs
on the shuttle!
Day 3; sad it's the last day to ski.
Brandon wanted a pic with his skis

their last run.
mom and dad got some ski time in!
sister was sad to hear we had to go home.
sad to leave the mountains
open-mouth nappers, the ultimate sign of a good vacation!
The first part is Blaine but the trails merge and there's Brandon!
Blaine is fearless! He can turn better than some adults and gets up when he "wipes out" (his words.) He is a total ski bum!
Britton didn't love skiing but he did pretty good, when he tried.
For weeks following the trip Blaine talked about the trip, thanked us for the trip and asked us when we can go skiing again. He is hooked and we couldn't be more excited!

The trip looks like it was amazing! I love G between her daddy's legs.
They all look like they had a great time and you made some fantastic memories.
