Presidents Weekend...Family Ski Day

We didn't have school Friday or Monday because of Presidents day.  We knew it probably would be busy up at Brian Head, but we packed everyone up and headed out to Ski.  Quin and Dani had invited Brecken to go with Kai for his birthday so they were going up and we decided to go too.  We left around 8:30 to get up there when it opened.  We started out rough.  Shaylee didn't want to go, she hates snow and being cold.  Brecken had a double bloody nose and it wouldn't stop.  We finally sent him off with Quin and Dani and told him to change out the paper or put ice on it.  We struggled getting everyone ready to get out.  Once we were all set Dean and Shaylee stayed in line to grab her skis while the rest of us got up on the lift and headed out.  I died laughing.  I  had Landon I  had only been skiing once before and only lasted like 3 hours, but we figured it out together with Addison by our side and we had a blast.  We met up with Dean and Shaylee as we were going up a 3rd time.  We all got off and then I  went off with Landon while Dean handled Shaylee.  We went down 2 more times and Shaylee and Dean still weren't down.  We ended up getting lunch around 1:30 and waiting for them in the lodge.  They came in 2 hours later. lol.  Shaylee was sick and crying and Dean was relieved to make it down finally.  We ran into Matthew Jaden and Kendyll and had them join us for Lunch.  It was so busy but we finally found a place to sit and stayed there for about an hour or more.  We then got back up on the mountain.  Shaylee and Landon wanted to stay at the lodge and rest. So Dean and I  were able to go down a few times with Brecken, Quin, and Dani.  We had to wait in the lift lines and wanted Shaylee and Landon to go one more time with us so we got them ready and back out on the slopes to hit it up one more time.  Landon and I  zoomed and had a blast going in the powder.  Shaylee and Dean made it down in record time 35 minutes instead of her 2 hours.  She did so much better. We finally got everyone off the mountain and loaded around 4:30 we ended up calling in cafe rio and then picked up jack in the box for the kids in Cedar.  When we got back on the freeway we were only able to go a little way before we came to a complete stand still.  We were there stuck for almost an hour.  So the kids ate while we figured out what was going on.  We finally got through the wreck and it was smooth sailing tell we got home around 7:00.  It was a long day, but such a fun day!!! I  loved it.
