Skiing... the last day

Today is the last day we will be skiing. You would have thought that we would have a routine down since we have done it all week. YEA RIGHT! We ARE the Mortons :) ha ha ha

We decided that since we could not get child care for the little ones for Thursday that Daph would stay with the Piper, Ansley, Sophia and Benton this morning while Justin, the boys and I went up so we could all ski together then after lunch I would come home with the boys and watch Sophia and Benton while Brian and Daph went up with the girls.

We woke up to it snowing so we knew it was going to be a great day to ski. So Brian, Justin and I loaded up the boys, all the skis and ski boots. We get to the parking lot to get everyone ready to hit the slopes. We open the back of the truck and tell the boys to get grab their ski boots and they both say that those are not their boots. WHAT? So we decided to put the boot on the girls skis and sure enough we got there with the girls ski boots. Seriously? By this time we are ready to start drinking... the boys were not listening as usual... and the whining continued.

We called Daph to see if she could bring the boys boots to us so we would not loose the horrible parking spot we were already in :) She met us and dropped the boots off and we were set!

Brian went off to ski by himself and Justin and I took the boys up. We got on the lift and the boys were so excited. It was our first run together and the boys did great! Of course it was pretty flat so we did a little walking and poling but at least the boys had fun. We did a few more runs and by lunch they were exhausted and ready to go.

We returned the boys skis and then mine and were off to switch with Daph so she and the girls could come out. The boys and I went home and had some lunch and then hung out waiting for everyone else to get back. I did a little packing trying to get organized since we were leaving the next morning. That night we were going to take the older kids to "childcare" while we went out to dinner with Benton and Sophia. Of course Jonah was complaining about how babyish it looked but of course did not want to leave when it was time to go. They had pizza for dinner, watched Open Season 3 and made s'mores.
