my sister’s family along with ours headed up to my parents house last wednesday night. jim was taking ethan snowboarding for the first time. we packed up both cars early thursday morning and headed to the schack’s cabin in big bear. the schack’s cabin is in the ideal spot, right on big bear express. their garage has bunk beds lining the walls and the other remaining walls are like a rental shop. we found boots, a board, pants and gloves for ethan and jim got him all setup. they were all ready to go within thirty minutes and walked down big bear express. we headed out to breakfast, which is never relaxing for me because payton always wants to run around and then brayden decided to have a blowout up to his neck. fun! luckily for me his easter shirt was still in my car so he got to wear that a few days early. we went to starbucks, pondered going bowling but decided to just go play in the backyard of the cabin with what snow was left. it was relaxing, hearing the amazingly good snowboarders ride on by as i sipped on my starbucks double shot. there was a red bull event going on so the talent was amazing! plus, my friend suzanne stopped by on her lunch break and got to meet brayden, we miss her and travis a lot! all in all, it was a great relaxing day getaway, wish we would’ve had more time but jim had to go to work on friday.
jim fitting ethan on the board. i don’t know if i’ve ever mentioned that he used to be an instructor until they almost killed him. that’s why he has that super cool backwards nike swoosh on his forehead.
my brother-in-law jason and the girls
ethan did really well for his first time. they took about ten runs and he didn’t want to stop.
all of us.
jim took the girls one-by-one and skated with them. they loved it, despite payton’s super excited look here. she was over tired.
the last shot of the day. which actually was perfect timing, i just wanted to snap a picture of the girls sitting together but then they started waving and yelling at jim who was just coming in from a solo run.
I remember when the Nike swoosh happened! Good times…good times… I wonder why those snowbikes never took off.
Anyhoo, it was great to see you. Maddie chased me for a goodbye hug which warmed my heart. Too cute.
It looks like you and your family had such an awesome Easter weekend! ^_^ Brayden and Payton are getting so big! The time does fly, doesn’t it??
