Family Get-Away: Ski Trip

The past few days have been wonderful!

On Monday our crew left for a family ski get-away.

 Me with my crazies on the road.

The girls were so excited!

 We stopped for a much needed bathroom break

and scored some Starbucks!

Bailey entertained us by singing with her microphone!

We arrived at Wintergreen Ski Resort around

3 p.m. Monday afternoon.

We checked in and quickly got to the condo to 

begin layering on the clothes.

 Our condo turned out to be great!

When you book some of these places you just don't ever know what you are going to get...super happy

with this place!

 Perfect view from our balcony of the ski lift.

We were just a few steps away from the slopes which made it very easy for all of us.

 We began layering on the clothes so we could hit

the slopes.  Daddy picked on the gloves I purchased 

Bailey...they were a little big!

 Madison decided she would try snowboarding for

the first time.

Bailey is all bundled up and ready to ski!

 Madison and I on the ski lift!

After this trip she wouldn't ride on the lift with me

anymore...with her as a beginner with the snowboard and me with my hip it was just safer to ride separate.

 We were able to get Madison a private lesson with

one of the snowboard instructors.

It really helped and the instructor said Madison was a natural.  We couldn't believe how awesome she did 

for her first time ever snowboarding!

 She did excellent, but took a lot of falls.

Monday night her knee was very swollen.

We weren't so sure she would be able to continue on Tuesday.  After resting and a lot of ice she didn't let this stop her.  So proud of her for her determination!

This was only Bailey's second time skiing.

She was very cautious and stuck with Daddy the 

entire time. 

The hubby and I thought we might be the only two

skiing on Tuesday, but Bailey stuck with it and did great also!

She was a Daddy's girl the entire trip.

Bailey and I together fixing to get off of the ski lift...we are both a little scared!

We did great.

 Skiing works up quite an appetite!

We spent a lot of time eating.

 Bailey and Daddy love cheeze whiz and crackers.

 Relaxing waiting on breakfast.

The hubby and I made breakfast each morning.

 Selfie with my sweet hubby!

 Family pic...

I love my crew!

 Taking a break...

 and another break!!!

 I still can't get over how well this girl did!

 Waiting for my crew to get off the lift!

 Madison fell one time and Bailey came to her rescue...with a sweet kiss!

These girls melt my heart!

 My main squeeze!

 It of course decided to snow on Wednesday when we have to leave.

 And just like that it's over!

We had a great time and can't wait to come back.

 We stopped at our favorite spot for one more

family photo!

On the left is a pic in the same spot from 2013.

We've all changed a little.

I can't come to this spot without thinking about

my sweet Daddy.

We took a family ski trip with my parents in 2008.

Bailey was just a baby.

Great memories that I will always cherish.

Thanks for reading!

Keep up with me everyday.

CHAMPIONS

Our weekend consisted of a lot of

VOLLEYBALL!

We woke up very early Saturday morning for

Madison's volleyball tournament

in Greensboro.

A group selfie of us waiting for the 

Sportsplex to open their doors.

As soon as we got set up these two claimed their spots and played with their American Girl dolls.

Landon helped to entertain Bailey also.

 Sorry, pic is a little blurry.

Madison is serving here. Difficult to get a good pic of 

her in action!

 When Madison's team wasn't playing they were refereeing other volleyball games.

It is a big responsibility and very intimidating, but

it is important for them to learn.

While Madison was doing the score, 

Daddy took a nap.

When Daddy wasn't napping or running back and forth to the the truck for us girls he was eating pickles...well he only ate 1, but it was funny!

 A friend sitting with us went to the concession and came back with a dill pickle. Gene said he loved

pickles and would like to have one so our sweet friend, Tonya purchased Gene one.

I had no idea that my hubby liked pickles...WHAT?

So I just wanted a simple pic of him eating his pickle and he would not allow it.

He tried really hard to hide it and finally got up and left to enjoy his pickle in peace... 

or so he thought!

I got a pic...it's not clear, but hey I got it!

We all had a good laugh!

Then it was back to playing volleyball.

These girls did great.  So proud of them.

#teamfusion

They won the first game, then the second and then the third...

They ended up playing 7 games and won them all which made them 

CHAMPIONS

in this tournament!

 The Yellow team came in 2nd. 

Coach Lee putting the 1st place medal on Madison.

 She's all smiles!

What a great day!

 These girls worked together and it paid off.

 Not sure what this pose is, but they did and I took

their pic.

So great to have friends to experience this with!

Don't judge us moms...This is what 10 hours of 

cheering our girls on looks like!!!

Bailey says... Peace Out!

It was a very long day, but so worth it!

Sunday Selfie!

Happy Monday Friends!

Make this week a great one!

Keep up with me everyday.
