Mini Ski Trip

We made a semi last minute decision to take a couple days and go up PC303523
to Mt. Shasta for some skiing and relaxing....turned out to be a great decision.  We were a little worried because the weather forecast was iffy and Monday was pretty ugly but Tuesday was absolutely gorgeous.  We toured the town of Mt. Shasta and it is really such a cute town I don't know why we don't do it more.  The weirdest thing ever is we ran into an old friend and co-worker of Aarons on a street corner...he worked with him down in Concord and he now lives in Napa and just happened to stop in Mt. Shasta to stretch their legs on the way home from Oregon.  So weird! 

We had a great dinner at our hotel and did some swimming and hot-tubing in their indoor pool.  And guess what?  At dinner we ran into another old co-worker of Aarons!  This guy he worked with doing water testing on Iron Mountain.

Today we enrolled the kids in full day ski school and got to ski on our own...it was great!  The kids had a busy and productive day with 2 lessons, lunch, and fun time with their instructors.  Ella had a blast and didn't want to leave, Jacob had fun too but got a little upset that we weren't going to come back.  He said next time he doesn't want to take a lesson, he says he's got it down and just wants to stay with us.  We shall see.  Next time.  Ella need to works on her stopping...she just wants to to go FAST!  Jacob needs to work on his turning.  His idea of stopping is to fall down.  Oh and guess what?  Aaron ran into more co-workers, on 2 separate occasions on the mountain!  This time current guys he works with now.  Can't take Aaron anywhere, I tell ya!  Click here for pictures from our adventures in Mt. Shasta

So much fun. I do worry about our dare devil daughter, though. I hope they will be good enough to go up the lift with us soon. Can't wait to do it again.

Love that town, too. I swear I'm going to live there one day. I may be old, but save me a spot by the mountain. :>)
