Mammoth

We made it on a little Mammoth trip to get some boarding in!  I've been really itching to go since I haven't been since I got preggies with Mylee over 18 months ago.  Ry's been with the guys but not me.  Lucky guy!  We took Friday and Monday off so we didn't have to rush and be able to spend an extra day with the girls on Monday since we didn't take them on this little trip. Yes, I was actually being selfish for once and wanted to board and not to worry about the girls.  Plus it's pretty cold and they just both recovered from a cold.
Ry is excited!  Making sure my board is intact since I haven't used it a long time!

The Chow's took their twins up with us and stayed at their condo up there.  It's the twins first snow trip.  They had fun!  I'm helping Grace out and taking care of Ethan a little.  It gave me a little baby fix since I do miss my girls and it's only the 1st day.  We got up there on Friday fairly early so had time to walk around and had some dinner.  The rest of the group didn't show up until real late and we were all sleeping so we just met up with them on the mountain the next morning.
We found a little igloo when waiting to meet up with the rest of the group.  I went in and sat with a little boy and his instructor.  So cute!  He was about four and in lessons.  Can't wait until I can get my little Makayla up there!  Next year for sure!
The guys!  From left to right, there's Brian (new friend), Ry, Alan, Ed and Phil.

The girls!  Me, Neddy (Brian's fiance) and Cora.  We're up on top getting ready to strap in after the gondola ride.  It's pretty high up here!  But oh so beautiful and refreshing!

After a hard day of boarding all day we met up at the Village.  Here are the twins all bundles up!  Too cute!  Little Haley & Ethan!

The village was pretty packed so we headed to Grumpy's for  a little pool, foosball and some beer.  It was very chill.

Waiting for dinner with some beers!  Pretty fun night and trip!  We only stayed the two night and boarded for one day.  We headed back on Sunday fairly early to get home to our girls!  Can't wait to see them!  Thank you so much to both grandparents for taking such good care of them for us so we could take this little trip!
