Saturday adventures

The plan for this past Saturday was for M to take C and I out of the house early so D could sleep in and then head to work. With him coming home sick Friday night, M didn't know what to do. But I decided I still wanted to go skiing like M had told me we were going to. This was an adventure (or suicide mission) for M in that she was going to have both of us on the ski hill at the same time. Notice the monkey on my back. That was the harness M was going to use for me so i wouldn't get too far ahead of her and C.

Ready to go up the conveyor belt to the bunny slope.

We did so good the first run down, that M thought we could handle the chair lift and the littler steeper hill. It was a little scary for her to have me in a chair all by myself, but i hung on tight!

C riding up with M.

After 2 runs down (and more than 45 mintues outside) as we got tangled a few times on the steeper slope, we were ready for lunch. We headed back to the van for our peanut butter sandwiches.

M's little ski bums!

After lunch M tried to take us back on the slopes, but it was so windy and getting too close to nap time. Once both C and I started crying, M decided it was time to head home! She still plans to take us out again, just one by one next time!!
We got home shortly after 4 and relaxed for about an hour before M started supper. The water was just starting to boil when the electricity went off. After patiently waiting for 45 minutes for it to come back on, M decided she needed to go find food elsewhere. The lights came back on 10 minutes before we had to turn them off for bedtime!
C and I playing with the flashlights as we waited for the blackout to be over. It was our first extended blackout and was an adventure in itself. C couldn't quite understand why the lights didn't work when she flipped the switches in all the rooms but the flashlights sure were fun to play with and have a picnic by.
