Grrrd!

We rented a house in Girdwood last month for 3 days with some friends so that we could enjoy a couple full days of skiing. It was great to have a nice place to crash, have some hot soup and margaritas, and hang out instead of having to deal with the long drive back home, exhausted after a day of skiing.  The kiddos had lots of fun playing with each other and so did the adults!  We saw a great band at the Sitzmark Bar and Grill where Miles and I had our wedding reception.  The skiing was amazing-decent temps and conditions.  Willa's skills really improved after taking a couple classes and she felt confident enough to venture to the top on the tram with us for the first time!  Dylan blew us off the mountain as usual....but the old folks are happy at their current level of speed-I have a career depending on a functioning body, after all!  I'm loving my new updated skis...what a huge difference from the straight looooooong skis I'd had since high school!  No one stares anymore or says,"WOW!!!!  OLD school!"

 Spoiled we are now, after being able to sleep over in the happy town-o-Girdwood!  We'll definitely plan on this for next year!

Ready for ascent

Silly kids

Silly adult kids and their Margaritas awaiting the 10pm show at the Sitz.  Can I just say that these recliner-type couches are the stupidest fucking things ever?!?  I mean...what a bastion of couch potato-ness!!!  Can't hold your Slurpee in your own fucking hand?  Rest that poor tired extremity by placing cup in the holder on the console as shown!  And what of your po-ta-to chips?  What to do with them when not munching?!  Pop up the lid on your armrest and store them there!  Yay!  And if you want to make eye contact while communicating with your couch partner, you'll have to either tandem un-recline those seats or engage those abs and lean FORWARD over the middle on the couch.  Otherwise you'll just have to speak louder through the mass of upholstery that will be in your face when you turn your head to the side.  Ridiculous.  Rant over.

Lovely view of the slopes from the house

Goodnight tired wee skiers!  (They enjoyed sleeping in the loft!)
