Our First Family Vacation, part 2

NOTE: our apologies, five months have passed since we updated this blog! I’m not sure if that is bad etiquette or not, I’ll check wikipedia. In the meantime, here’s what Momster had written after our family vacation. I’ll finish it after I 30 seconds the deck.

So we finally make it up on the Snow Bunny Park. It is packed. And the park is officially closed. (Why didn’t they say so - the web site says "open on school holidays" - New Year’s is not only a School holiday, but a National holiday as well.) Since we don’t own things like sled or snow disk, and there is no inner tube to rent, we end up borrowing Rob and Molly's. Taking turns. Which worked out OK, since Brandon (4) is very cautious and doesn’t want any part of this sledding nonsense.

Momster loads Sophie up on the plastic tobaggon and heads up to the bunny hill. The child keeps sliding off the dang little tray so literaly we take 3 steps forward and 2 steps back. Only quarter of the way up the bunny hill, I’m already regretting being the first one to go up there with the hellion. Should have sent Daddy. Slip goes Sophie again so I turn around to load her up on the little plastic tray. Then Bam! Out of nowhere this evil child on bob sled made of whiffle ball material knocks me over and I land on my head. Here comes, I am in a bad bad mood. People, watch your own kid. I have my hands full with my own hellion. (That is one of my pet peeves, people who let their pushy older kids loose with no supervision in crowded places. I end up watching for mine and theirs, and I end up scolding their brats, which gets me into a foul mood.)
