Ski Trip

Every year, my side of the family goes on a ski trip. That is what we did last weekend. We all drove up to Powder Mountain. My parents rented a house for 3 nights. It was a blast. A lot of us spent Saturday and Monday skiing. The little kids spent a lot of time in the hot tub, sledding, watching movies, and just playing together.

On Saturday afternoon, Chris and I decided to try and teach Kelli how to ski. We rented some skis which were so cute, because they were so tiny, and put Kelli in them. She had been talking for a while that she wanted to learn how to ski. We tried it out for a little while and she did ok. Kelli skiing didn't last long before she said she was done. We would have tried a little more, but it snowed most of the time we were there, which isn't the greatest for kids if you want to try and teach them how to ski. But is sure is great for the adults. We love the powder! Here is a picture of Kelli all ready to go skiing.


On Saturday evening, I got this really cute picture of Kelli with all her cousins that are close to her age. They were goofing around on the couch, and I got these awesome pictures.


They have so much fun together. We spent the rest of the evening play Band Hero. It was a blast. Kelli has a really nice cousin who was willing to help her out with the drums.


After Band Hero, grandpa got all the grand kids together for a little story time. I don't know if any of you have heard of the story, "The Monster at the End of This Book?" My brothers and I loved it when we were all kids. My dad read this story to his grand daughters and boy did they love it too.

This next one is my favorite because they are all screaming.


On Sunday, we took pictures and also took the kids sledding right out behind the house where we were staying. Here is grandma and grandpa with all their grand children.

Sledding was a blast for the kids. All the guys built a louge in the back yard. The kids would fly down it and they loved it. It was pretty funny to watch.


Then, on Sunday night, all the kids put together a talent show. Some sang songs, some danced, others did tricks. It was pretty cute. They all opened up the program by singing Twinkle Twinkle Little star and doing actions with the song. This next picture is a little blurry.


Then Kelli sang I Am a Child of God for her talent. She did a really good job.



And for the grand finale of the talent show, the kids put on glow sticks and danced to Beyonce, Single Ladies. It was hilarious! Here are a few pictures of what it looked like. Kelli is the one with the red head.



Thanks everyone for such a fun trip. Thanks for all the yummy food and for a great time. It was wonderful to see all of you. Thanks especially to mom and dad for making it happen and for taking us skiing.
