Snowshoe Trip ( Feb 2009)





Chris/Poppi has a bunch of other amazing pictures we took of the boys and their first time on skis. The boys LOVED it. They didn't understand what they were doing and wanted to walk but once I got on my skis and held them as we went down the mountain they loved it. We also took them up to the top of the mountain where they have an arcade place. They had such a blast moving from game to game. We found a car racing game that had like 20 credits so we played that for some time.

Then Chris bought the boys tickets for the trampoline that catapults them into the sky. I wish I could describe the joy and wonder on their faces. The fist 10 jumps they were beaming and delightedly laughing. After that they just looked around as if it was the most natural thing in the world to be jumping that high. We also tried the large air slide which Coop took to no problem but Bear held onto his fear of slides and the staff laughed as they had me carry him up the very large slide and go down with him. (The next day they were still laughing at me!) They didn't quite get that they couldn't play with some of the games that other kids were playing without paying for it. It made me laugh when they just held out their hands and demanded coins.

The other big event was us taking over a ski slope to let the boys go sledding. They had a blast and Coop even pulled Bear back up the hill a few times. Chris also treated me to an amazing massage while he babysat the kids. I took a book and sat next to the mountain's lodge fire place before and after the massage. It was blissful!
