We were so excited when Mike and Beth invited us to join them for a ski weekend up at Northstar! They had rented a condo right there in the village, and it was so awesome just being a few feet away from the slopes. It’s just such a fun atmosphere up there. Beth and I would make them lunch and meet them at this fire pit just right at the bottom of the ski hill and right by our condo. It was awesome. They skied Friday and Saturday, and the girls were diehards. They did so great. It was really only Leah’s 2nd time skiing, but she picked it up really fast and was keeping up with all the other kids just fine. Dan said by the middle of the first day, she was just zooming down the hill.
Beth and I (both pregnant) had fun lounging in the condo, taking the little boys on walks around the village, playing at the cute toy store they have up there, and just chatting the day away.
At night after the skiers were all cleaned up, we’d head out to dinner in the village. The first night we went to the Japanese restaurant and the 2nd night we went to an Italian place for pizza.
We had planned on ice skating Saturday night, but Dan suddenly came down with a fever, so instead of staying another night, we packed up and drove home. Luckily we live less than an hour away, so it wasn’t that big of a deal, but the girls were definitely bummed about not being able to ice skate. Next year, girls. Thanks Mike and Beth for an awesome weekend!! We had so much fun!
