Mini Skiing Vacation

Sunday after church, we drove to Wallace and stayed in the Wallace Inn on Sunday and Monday night.  It may have been a less than exciting family get away. We were all a bit grumpy.  Sunday night we went to dinner and played games and watched a show together.  We slept in Monday and got up to Lookout Ski Resort about 10:30. It was super cold and windy.  We all had a difficult time getting our gear on and may have been a bit whiny.  (Well not dad, but the rest of us.) I was so cold, Katie's feet hurt, you know, stuff like that.  Plus the parking lot was so full that we had to walk forever in our ski boots to get our lift tickets.  So not a good start.  We skied 3 runs, then Katie, Garret and I went in to the lodge to warm up.  Dad stayed out and skied by himself for a bit.  Then he joined us for lunch.  We skied 3 more runs and then went back to the Wallace Inn.  Our beds had been horrible on Sunday night, so dad got the people at the hotel to give us another room with better beds.  (Kirt calls me the princess and the pea because I am pretty picky about my bed and really can't sleep in a bad bed.) Thank goodness.  I slept so much better. It was New Years Eve.  Garret was the only one who stayed up to midnight.  He watched the ball drop with the sound turned off.  We are a bunch of party poopers.  Katie and I really didn't want to go skiing the next day, so dad and Garret went back up for a few hours.  They skied 8 runs in a little over 2 hours.  It's amazing how much skiing you can get done when no one is whining.  Katie and I just stayed at the hotel and played games in the lobby because we had to check out of our room.
