Skiing Sugarloaf Mountain Day 1:

Ok, so just to keep it real, I'm not going to pretend even for a second that skiing with little kids is all fun.  First, there is managing all the gear, then bundling everyone up to head over and try to sign them up for lessons while waiting in a total sauna (we ditched that idea real fast).  Then the five year old boy, was thirsty (we hadn't even skied one run yet), crying and hit himself in the eye with his goggles (insert more crying), then took him up the wrong trail for the first run, where he promptly fell, took his skiis off and refused to go ski down anymore (within 5 minutes of our very first run), insert more crying by child and adult alike.  WE FINALLY made it down that OONE run and I peeled my stuff off and  lay  down, totally exhausted and sweaty.  Wow, ONE run down (did I mention just keeping it real?  ...) Then we decided to take turns with the little ones and Josh and I and Audrey headed out for some fantastic skiing on this fantastic day.  WE headed to the top, and once you make it to the top of this mountain you have a good 15-30 mins of great skiing ahead of you.  it was just awesome.  I got a whole days worth of skiing done in two runs, literally.  LOVE this mountain.  That night for dinner, after hitting the hot tub and pool again and getting a nice LONG HOT shower, we headed over to the village again for some melt in your mouth burgers (and a VERY small booth).  The kids watched the fireworks right from our condo window.  Just an amazing moment.  ANother round of cards, and many more laughs.  Awesome Day.
