Family Ski Trip

The Gorge on the drive to St. George

The beautiful views of St. George, UT

We arrived in Las Vegas on Saturday and made the short drive to St. George, Utah where my brother and his family recently moved.  It was an amazingly beautiful drive!

After meeting up with my brother we headed to Brian Head for a few days of skiing.  It was my first time to ski so I spent the first day in a lesson.  For a holiday weekend, there were surprisingly few people so we got some great runs in over three days.

Derek and I on the lift.  It was incredibly cold
with bitter winds.  With our warm Texas
blood, we couldn't stand to have a single inch
of exposed skin.

Lauren and William love their
Uncle Derek!

Lauren roasted marshmallows for
all of us

Lauren was quite the little skier!  She took
Kid's Ski Camp for two days and did an
awesome job.  I don't know if I've ever seen
her have more fun.

William's best buddy is
his Uncle Chris

William got upset when someone
took candy from his tractor

Chris looks like he enjoyed sledding the most

Derek tried Polygamy, I mean we were in Utah

  It was a fantastic trip that we are planning to continue for many years to come!  We hope that next year the one missing sibling, John, will be able to make it.
