Sun Valley!

What a whirlwind of fun (with a little bit of pain intertwined)!!  Lee and Leslie rolled out the red carpet for us like everyone said they would!  And with Keith being there too….well, let’s just say we were more than taken care of!  We got to Sun Valley at 10:30 in the morning.  Keith’s car waiting for us in the parking lot stocked with food, water and, of course, Coors Light.  We were on the slopes by noon where Leslie whisked away the two kiddos so that Leif and I could exhaust our legs!  T to B’s all day long!

We stayed at the Limelight Hotel, which was incredible.  It had a huge open bar with a side area for kids stocked with video games galore.  A pool that only Skyler and Keith got to take advantage of…a ski shop…and the best breakfast buffet in town. 

Liam just could not get enough of the snow cat lips that created the perfect little jumps for him to go off of.  After about 180 jumps that he landed, he ended up sideways and too high on one and came down right on his shoulder.  He broke his ski pole and his collarbone.  Poor guy was in more pain than I have seen anyone in in a long time.  We got him to the hospital where they filled him up with pain medication and set his arm in a sling.  No more skiing for Liam. 🙁

Skyler got one more day with her dad and I but also took a hard fall and tweaked her knee.  So…we did what every good parent would have done.  We left them at the hotel with Cousin Alex and set out to get the fresh powder sans kids.  The kids were spoiled rotten by Alex and Leslie and Leif and I got some great turns with Keith and Lee.  The following day Leif set out early to get the powder with his uncles and I joined them a few hours later.  Just enough turns to make my legs shake and we were back on the plane by 4pm to head home. 

SO…MUCH…FUN!
