The bloopers keep coming!

Our vacation started out with a very bad for me where all the boys woke up several times and I ended up waking and getting up about 15 times during the 6 hours of sleep I had. Luckily Alex could take the boys in the morning and I slept another hour or so. It probably saved my day! He was the first one to save my day...

 

After getting everyone ready in the morning (which takes forever with 4 kids and 6 adults) we all went to rent skis and buy the ski passes. After getting everything we needed we went home where a babysitter was waiting to help out with the kids while we went skiing. Super nice to get some skiing without the boys but also felt strange to not enjoy the sloped with them.

 

Anyways, it took me and Alex a long time before we could actually enjoy the slopes. As soon as I took out the skis from the car one of the bindings fell off!! Well, good that it fell off there and not when I was skiing. We really did not want to driver all the way back to where we rented it so we decided to go and ask for help at a rental place by the slopes. They could not help us since one ski was missing a screw and the other one had a screw with the wrong dimension. The second binding fell off in there... They were incredibly nice though and LENT me a pair of skis for FREE!!! That was the second time my day was saved!

 

So back to the lift. I put on my skis and.... Alex tried to put on the snowboard, but both his bindings broke!!!!! Is that even possible that both our gear brake at the same day!? Back to the rental place. We picked a different one though since we felt a little stupid ;-)

After that we had an awesome day and Marlee came to the sloped later and skid a little with me and farmor. I think both me and Marlee expected him to remember more of the skiing so I think that he got a little disappointed and frustrated when it did not work as good as he had expected it to. But he did good! Tomorrow I hope to bring both Marlee and Noah to go skiing. I just love watching them making progress and having fun!

 

We finally made it to the top!!!

Nice view

 

Are you talking to me?
