We turned in our skis yesterday afternoon. They say all good things must come to an end. It was the best day by far. JD picked up on the basics of skiing within an hour or so. He was sooo happy. He still fell alot but he said it was way better than falling off the snowboard. He even tried a couple of small bumps(next to the jumps). The conquered those and it made his day. Aaron accomplished every trail with the exception of the black diamond. Georgia nailed the jumps even with a little air underneath her! Derek nailed several trails that Aaron did and also nailed the jumps! Aaron found a trail that even I could do. I was skeptical at first but even Derek said I could do it so I tried it. It was lots of fun. It finally snowed!!! We saw it, felt it, and some of us tasted it...lol. The best was skiing in the falling snow. It was sad to turn in the skis yet we knew we had really enjoyed ourselves. We are blessed.
Today we enjoyed a lazy day. Aaron, JD and Georgia hiked and fished on Eric and Deborah's mountain. Derek hung out at the skate park in town while Deborah and I went to do some shopping.
We ended the evening with a date night. Derek babysat while Aaron and I went to dinner. After dinner we took our chances in the casino. Aaron LOST...not that I'm rubbing it in...I went in with $40 and came home with $60. I was very excited. Usually Aaron wins money and I spend it all. Can you believe we are in a whole other state and our date night still ended with a trip to Walmart! Oh, well:)
We head home tomorrow morning. With a long drive ahead of us we are eager to get home yet sorry to leave. Thank you Eric and Deborah from the bottom of our hearts! Going on this vacation was fun and it was a major bonus to stay with you and spend time with you. You have a beautiful home and we couldn't have been more comfortable. We pray that God will bless you for your hospitality! We had fun. The scenery is beautiful. Pray for our safe travel home.
