Ski Trip Fun

On December 26th we headed off to Durango, CO for the Mileur Family ski trip. The drive is approximately 16 hours. I was dreading the drive with Cannon because three year olds are the best at sitting still for long periods of time. Much to my surprise he did great! As long as we had something to entertain him with such as books, games, or a movie he was perfectly happy! The Lord blessed our travels for sure! We encountered some bad wintry roads but we had no problems. We arrived safely to Durango Mountain Resort on Sunday morning. Andrew, Mason, and Rachel decided to take advantage of skiing that day. So while they hit the slopes the rest of us went grocery shopping. We got there at about 6:30 a.m. that morning but check in wasn't until 4:00 p.m. I was so ready to get out of the suburban and relax in the condo, but no such luck. So at lunch we met the skiers and brought them some lunch. Travis decided to give another try at getting an early check in and was going to use the excuse of having a pregnant lady to see if we got any sympathy! We did! We got to check in right after lunch. Praise the LORD! The next three days were full of fun in the snow. The skiers left early in the morning and then Bequita, Cannon, and I ventured to the mountain around lunch. We enjoyed watching them ski, let Cannon run around in the snow, and we found a little hill that he could sled down. He had a blast! He still talks about Colorado and the snow! On December 31st, Andrew and I's 5 year anniversary, we headed back home. We got home right before midnight and rang in the New Year safe at home! I always enjoy that week of relaxation away from home! I hope we keep up the tradition of the the trip for many years to come. Hopefully next year Cannon will get to take ski lessons. And I will be able to ski again! YEA!
