Ski Day 2

We headed back to the mountain this morning and had to figure out a way to get the little UP the mountain not on a chair lift. Sophia and Seth said NO WAY they were getting on one of those things. I do not know how they thought we were going to get up the mountain but...

We did some research and found that Peak 8 had a gondola up the mountain to the family friendly area. We all loaded up and headed up the mountain. This was OK because we did the gondola in Keystone when we went tubing. We get to the top and now its time to tell them we are getting on the chair lift. They said they were nervous but we got them on.

The tricky part was getting all four littles up when we only had 3 adults and it was a 2 seater. I took Seth, Justin took Sophia, Nic took Claire and Jonah took Noah, Luke rode solo.

We got them UP THE LIFT and they said it was kind of FUN! Now for the fun part... getting DOWN the mountain ON SKIIS! We told Jonah and Luke they could take off and we would see them on the mountain, there were only three runs for the lift we were taking so we would see them.

Nic had Claire AND Noah to get down by himself, I had Seth and Justin had Sophia. WHAT IN THE NAME OF ALL THAT IS HOLY WERE WE THINKING???

Needless to say there were plenty of tears and we stopped every 5 feet or so and had to pick them back up sometimes putting skiis back on. I think it took a solid hour to get down the first run that should have taken about 7.

We FINALLY made it down and the entire way down through the tears and screaming how stupid it was and how they were NEVER doing this again they both wanted to GO AGAIN!

This is Nic when we FINALLY made it down. He needed a drink! Noah refused to "pizza" down the mountain, he wanted to "french fry" STRAIGHT down the entire way to get there faster so he could go more times. Only problem was that he kept falling because he would start going so fast he would just make himself fall, Dominic could not even keep up with him.

We closed the lifts down and Claire stayed back with Mimi and momma so Nic could just help Noah down.
