Heading Downhill

Well, we've gone and done it now.  There are two cute ski bunnies in our house.

This past weekend, some of the Draggin families headed to High 1 Resort.  I haven't skied in 15 years, but way back then I was pretty decent.  Ronnie didn't get to go skiing as much as I did, but he was good as well.  Needless to say, I was a bit worried about my personal abilities added in with trying to get the girls up on skis.  But no matter, we were going to have a good time.  Outdoor Rec put a very nice trip together for us, did all the driving and chose a hotel on the top of the mountain with amazing views.

And what a time we had!  We couldn't have asked for better weather or better company.  The girls were gungho the first couple of tries, which faded when it wasn't coming as easily as it looked.  There were tears, hissy fits, and lots of hugs and kisses, but we got the down the bunny hill a few times before we decided they (and we) had enough and called it a day.  Ronnie and I then got a few runs in ourselves before heading for our hotel.  And after a large dinner with all the families, we retired for the night. 

The next day brought beautiful blue skies and mild weather.  Ronnie went skiing with Dan for the morning while the girls and I rode the gondola to the top of another peak to have lunch.  After we headed down to the sledding hill.  The girls ran up and down, sledding with all their friends, and new Korean friends that we met along the way.  Before we knew it, the time had come to pack up, head back to the bus and get on the road to Osan.

All in all, I guess we did something right.  All the girls could talk about the last two days is how much fun we had and ask when we could go again.  Then again, the promise of being able to go skiing with grandma and grandpa is also enticing.  They know their pockets are lined with candy and money.
