This is what tired looks like at 10,000 feet

Looking back at these pictures make me laugh!  No one complained, everyone had fun but boy were they tired.  We took them to the top....all the way up....as high as you could go.....what were we thinking?

Lucas literally kicked off his skis and laid down right where he was!  Hilarious!

Both Dawson boys are down for the count!

What mom's do best.  We care for the young.  Lucas got a nice piggy back ride into the 'feel better lodge.'

Not wanting to move.  I really think he may have fallen asleep right there.

Hunter was the only one who didn't hit the ground.

Evan down!

Lucas down!

Blaine down!

Hunter's Epic Crash

 Hunter had this colossal yard sale right in front of the cameraman!  They had people out on the slopes taking pictures of folks skiing and then you could buy the pictures later for a small fortune.  Brian found these of Hunter and purchased them for us!  It was great shot of the fall and it looks worse than it really was.  Hunter wasn't hurt in any way, except for maybe his pride!

B-O-O-M!

Family Time!

We had a great time when it was 'adults only' but it was great to pick up the kids from school and still have a few hours to ski with them.  We also skied with them for the entirety of the last day.  It was wonderful and they were proud to show off all the skills they had learned at school.

Headed up the lifts.  Lucas was always happy to ride with big brother Hunter.

Look at them go!  Lucas was in the red and Blaine was in the yellow.  Evan was on the outside in this picture...I can tell by the sprig coming off the top of his helmet!

Beautiful, beautiful views.

Breakfast spot!  Breakfast was the biggest meal of the day for these kids!  We had a fabulous buffet in the hotel so we were sure to fill them up before hitting the slopes for the day.  They had lunch during school and then we all ate as a family for dinner.

Brian and Blaine headed to the top!

Fearless and fast in all he does!

Brian riding up with our two older guys.

Here we are trying to get our crew to the top!

Cutest little skier I have ever seen!

And Hunter can be too cool for school....

Buddies.

L-O-V-E

Follow the leader, please.

Always ready to go---Straight down!

Grown up Time!

These pictures show what a fun time the four of us had while the kids were in school.  It was nice to ski and enjoy the company of my husband and some really good friends.  Enjoy!

Brian was really good and really helpful to me.  He was always encouraging me to do the more difficult terrain but not pushy when I chickened out!  For the slopes I was more comfortable on, yet were still somewhat challenging he would stay behind and make sure I made it to the bottom without completely wiping out!  I did have a couple of spills which required his assistance as skis went flying down the mountain.

Mary was also a great skier.  She made it look easy as she gracefully floated on top of the snow.

You can see my little tailer in this picture!  Thanks Bid Daddy!

Showing us how it's done.

So I can see from this picture that we could have used a selfie stick!  I never thought I would actually admit the need for one of those.  Not the best picture of David and I but you can see we are having fun so who cares, right?

Big Daddy was also great at selfies.

We made it!

This was my favorite run.  You are at the top of the mountain and it is long and wide and so beautiful all the way down.  You are so high up at this point it would take an hour or so to get back to the bottom where out hotel was.

Those boys can be nothing but trouble!  New flasks to celebrate the season I suppose.

C-H-E-E-R-S!

All done for the day and getting ready to hit the hot tub.
