2011 Ski Trip Weekend

January 27th -- 30th:

We went to McCall and stayed at the Leatham's cabin for the annual "Ski Trip Weekend."  The boys (Jonathan, Nick, Andrew, Josh, and Brian) drove up on Thursday night for guy time and beer drinking.  On Friday they had a blast skiing and messing around on Hidden Valley at Brundage.
Anna and I drove up after work on Friday and we all enjoyed a delicious manicotti dinner with strawberry tart for desert (Thanks Brian!).  Joel and Lindsay showed up a little later and we all hung out for a mellow evening playing bananagrams, ping pong, and shuffle board.
After breakfast on Saturday, we packed up lunch and drove up to Brundage.  I am still very new a skiing so Nick and I stayed on the easy runs while the rest of our group skied all over the mountain.  Overall, I did good skiing but still have a lot to improve on before I can call myself a "skier."  We took a break for lunch and had a good time hanging out and eating hot dogs (Thanks again Brian!). 

That night Lindsay and Joel put together a ping-pong-a-paloza and shuffle-a-dufffe tournament.  Both tournaments had double elimination and Anna's parents knocked me out of each bracket!  Nick kicked butt and ended up coming in second at shuffle board and FIRST at ping-pong and second at shuffle board.  Nick and Cliff were awarded this giant check for coming in first in each tournament!  We had such a great weekend and are looking forward to next year!
