New Years Eve we took our first ski/snowboard trip of the year to White Pass. All of us snowboard except for the little girls. Tayler learned to ski 2 years ago and Bailey has either had to stay at home with the babysitter or in the child care wherever we go. This year Bailey decided she wanted to ski. We were all so excited. The first trip our whole family was able to be on the hill together. She was AWESOME!!! The girl is a natural.....gets it from her dad. She loved every bit of it.
On our way home the roads were horrible, which added another hour and a half to our trip. We spent our time counting the slide offs. We finally reached home around 7:00. Our New Years celebrations consist of lots and lots of junk food, which we had none of. Jared and I ran to Wal-Mart, me still in just my long john, to pick up some munchies. I am lucky we are not featured on "The people of Wal-mart".
That night we celebrated with watching the classic New Years celebrations on the tv, playing name that tune, and just being crazy. It was fun....just us.
Now Jan 1st was a different story. I'm not sure if I call it "fun"yet. At 11:00 we met at the Columbia River in Richland in the snow, to jump in. WHY?!?! I don't know, Peer Pressure I guess. There is no chickening out with this group. Nicole, Vern, and the boys even came for moral support (and to see what they were in for next year). It was freezing, toes were numb, and goosebumps covered our bodies. Yet we will be there again next year.
Afterwards a group of us went to Country Gentlemen for Cinnamon rolls and breakfast. YUM! The afternoon we partook of warm showers, movies, and chillin on the bed. WELCOME 2010.
