the last of the tubing pics…
We got to the “hill” around 5pm. The kids were all psyched and ready to hit the slopes so to speak. So, after we got all the tickets, we sent everyone on their way…all 123 of them! Yes, that’s right, our trip included 123 middle school kids, a few siblings and some great chaperones and it all went off without a hitch! Our numbers were up by close to 30 this year; we were excited about that. The night was perfect, the air was warmish…close to 40 degrees and those Ugg’s were worth every cent…my feet stayed toasty! That said, I wasn’t outside the whole 4 hours, my friend, Julie and I did walk up to the ski lodge to grab some dinner, but seriously, they did stay warm. I will be getting another pair…lol
It was pretty dark and hard to get pics and I was busy hanging with my friend…but I did mange to grab a few snaps of my crew…although none of Andrew….he wouldn’t be seen with me..ha ha. (that’s not really true but I was trying to be the cool mom and not embarrass him with his friends… 
)
on the way up the hill…the big light was shining directly in the face… 
it’s good to the princess and get pulled; they were waiting in line for the up hill people mover…Syd was too tired to walk up the hill. You can only ride one person per tube but you can connect up to 4 tubes… the kids loved tubing together
after the last run down the hill… he was tired and ready to go home
Josh, Matthew’s bff was there since his brother is in middle school… good times for my boys and their friend!

First let me say, there will be another vacation post today…so check back later.
But I wanted to post and shout out to my friend Mindy…she threw a fabulous surprise party for her husband’s 40th birthday this weekend. In ’69…Armstrong landed on the moon and Woodstock changed the world forever…. hence the theme, Hippies on the Moon. The food was great, the band great, the kids had a ton of fun jumping on the moon bounce (and with the slushie machine)…. the weather couldn’t have been better…really just a great time was had by all. Mission accomplished Mindy….job well done…
Here is one of my hippies…

A favorite activity among all the boys while we were up north was tubing…and they were lucky enough to do it a bunch of different times…such fun!
get ready… (lovely color cast from the tube…haha)
get set… go
and they pass by again…
and finally they are dumped off…left to swim back to shore…
What a blast!
{Tis the season}

To live on the soccer field… spring soccer is now underway… Max had his first practice today… he wouldn’t let me take a pic at the field as he wanted to hurry up and get to his team..so as he was running I called his name and snapped the shot when he looked at me…lol.
3 of 4 kids are playing soccer… so be prepared for soccer pic overload. I will be at the field 3 times during the week plus we average 4 games a weekend for the next 6 weeks…(double games= fun times)

Guess what we did on Sunday after Max’s soccer game?
Are you guessing…. lol…
keep guessing…
yup, we finally made it apple picking! Apple picking is a perfect fall activity and something we’ve done for the last several years…we always have a good time. For some reason, we didn’t do it last year and we were sad, so somehow… we were fitting it into our “O” so busy lives this year… Of course I took lots of pics, but don’t worry, I won’t share them all, but be prepared… there will be another post with some more..I’ll just share a few for now.
Since it was late in the season, the low apples on most of the trees were gone…but fortunately we have big brothers…
or we would just climb the tree…that seems to work
as we got further into the orchard we got lucky and found some low apples…mmmmm….these were really good!
and then we hit the lottery because we found some ladders…
Wow, all this work makes me hungry she says…as she takes a bite… and guards our bushel!
to be continued….
