We had such an amazing time on our Skiing/Snowboarding trip to Sunrise with the Skaggs crew!! We decided it would be better to leave Rilyn at home with Grandma & Grammy for this trip since I wasn't really up for the constant battle with all the snow gear and the cold, not to mention she would have really hated us for leaving her at the daycare while we played on the slopes!! So it was just Clayton & I and the boys which was really fun for a change! The 1st day of our trip we went to Sunrise for a full day of skiing and snowboarding ... which I would say was overall a succesful mission, although Jaime may beg to differ .. heeheee!! We arrived, got all of our rentals, dropped the kids off at ski school for a full day of boarding lessons, and then Clay and I jumped on the lift and headed up the mountain! It had been probably about 14 years or so since I had last skied so I wasn't really sure what to expect, but it came right back to me and we were headed to the very top in no time!! Jaime & Byrne took a morning class, so we met back up with them around noon and with lots of begging and pleading, I talked Jaime into heading up the lift to midway .. hahaaa .. so the 4 of us jumped on the lift and headed up!! I'm just going to say that Jaime most definitely without a doubt got the award for top speed and best bail of the day, heheeee and the rest of us got a good laugh!! Although after this top speed bail, Jaime decided she was going to walk the rest of the way down the mountain and before I knew it she had both her skiis in her arms and really thought she was walking the rest of the way down ... hahaaaaa!! Of course we talked her into, or should I say I pretty much forced her maybe with one not so nice, naughty word, lol, into putting her skii's back on and followning me down and she did awesome, although I don't think we are ever going to convince her into going on another skiing trip anytime in the near future!! We did finally end up making it down the mountain at the perfect time when the boy's had about 30 minutes left of their class and we got to see their skills coming down the bunny hill 3 or 4 times and I was able to snap a few pictures, before calling it a day. The highlight of Clay & I's day, hands down was seeing the smiles on Trey & Rhett's faces and the pure excitement they had boarding. For first timers they did amazing and both of them cant wait to go again!! So proud of them for goin out and gettin er done like champs!!
In line to get on the lift!!
They were too stinkin cute on the lift together with their boards hanging!! Still amazes me!!
Trey ridin'!!
Rhett Man ridin'!!
Our 2nd day we went sledding and again had a blast, I still cant get over how amazing the weather was the entire weekend and we took full advantage! On our sledding day Rhett definitaly got the award for most air (holy crap is all I can say about that, lil man was launching it!!) and Dylan & Trey took the awards for best bails, both knocking the wind out of themselves more than once.
The snow makes these pictures a little deceiving but here is Rhett's big air!!!
Sledding is not so much my favorite thing in the world since you don't really have any control and you're pretty much just along for the ride ... but Jaime got some payback and called me out maybe using that not so nice word that I used on her the previous day .. hahaaa .. and we had some fun on the sleds too!!
Jaime and Logan ... this is one of my favorite pics of the day!!!
The Skagg's boys!!
Before leaving on our trip, I went to Michaels and got each of the boys a wood frame that they could paint along with some stickers and stuff ... so we had each of them paint & decorate their frames which turned out super cute!! Being that this was all of their very 1st time hitting the slopes, I thought it would be cool to have a special frame for the occasion!!
What would a Kaintz vacation be without squeezing in some time for fishing ... lol!!!
This was such an awesome trip from start to finish!!!
