Lutsen or Bust III

Again, we gathered at the mountain for some fun skiing and great times.  This year, we went up for 4 days.  Thursday thru Sunday.  It was a blast.  Our first year, 4 couples went.  We rented a 2 bedroom, 1-bathroom unit with a futon and an air mattress in the living room...insanity.  Beer + 1 bathroom=disaster. 

Last year, we stepped it up a notch with everyone having their own bedroom, other than the 2 couples that have to share the room with 3 beds.  3 bathrooms and 3 levels make for a much more enjoyable stay. 

We bring all of our own food and beverage so we can just veg out at the condo when we get back from our day of skiing.  It gets to be a long day out there on the slopes, but they shut them down at 4pm, so we get back to play games and have lots of fun nice and early.

The first night, we played Balderdash.  Amy smoked all of us, while Ken struggled to understand why nobody chose his "3 boys try to rescue a pig" movie.  The photo to the right will outline his creative stance.

We played a lot of wii, some cards, and talked smart.  Everyone had lots of laughs and got lots of good, fast skiing in while we were there.  The pictures say 1000 words.

I want to go drink beards

Macy's watching the videos from our recent ski trip to Lutsen, where Ken's wearing his "kissy pants". A pair of J Crew Jammy pants I bought for him about 6 years ago. He recently told someone that an old girlfriend bought them for him...is this a sign that he's mourning the loss of the girlfriend I was? I had to very gently remind him that I bought those for him...

Anyways, Macy looks at the video and says,

"Mom, what is Dad doing in that movie with his kissy pants on?!"

I said, "Well, he's just hanging out."

She says, "Well, I want to go where you guys are."

"You want to go skiing?"

"No, I want to go with you to drink some beard."

uh oh...Is she destined to be like Dad?

We did just arrive home from Lutsen on Sunday night. What a fantastic 3 days of skiing and fun. We went with family and friends and enjoyed many, many laughs.

This photo is of someone's butt skin. Yes, that's right...butt skin. In an attempt to depants one of our fearless participants during an undies-only wii game, someone got a bit rough and shed some skin off. Zoykes.

The quote of the weekend was, "Wendy, are you hung over?"

"No."

"Oh, you look like it." ha! Whoever said that deserved to get skin ripped off his butt!

All In All, it was an awesome weekend with great weather. We missed our little twirps a lot, but they had lots of fun with Orange Gramma & Papa. I'm sure Gramma's had a few naps in their absence, already. I have more videos I'll post to the website when I get more time. We're back to the daily grind...aaaaahhhh!
