In mid-March, we went up to Killington, Vermont for a weekend of skiing with our friends The Burlesons. We drove up on Friday night after work and skied on both Saturday and Sunday. Garrett and I skied a few times growing up and this was our 3rd or 4th time this season, however we are light-years apart in terms of skill. Garrett is already skiing on black diamonds and I am firmly a green girl. Ryan spent a few years in Colorado and is a very advanced singer, so Garrett hung out with him. Timory had never skied before, so we were a good pair! She and I came up with a strategy of singing songs when we got scared to give us a little confidence and to take our minds off the speed. I did learn that I only know a few songs all the way through - Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells (Batman version), and America the Beautiful. Hey, I'm patriotic!
All weekend, the weather was absolutely perfect - sunny and near 40 degrees on the mountain. It was so clear and we had awesome views from the peak.
At night, we had fun playing Cards Against Humanity and, well, drinking. If you haven't played this game, it is essentially an adult version of Apples to Applies. It is highly inappropriate and highly entertaining. We also tossed in Scattergories for good measure.
On an unrelated note, for all the Taylor Swift fans out there, here is a spoof on her song "22" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YSnDJ7exSO0. So good, although I don't think 32 will be quite that terrible...right?!
YAY - what a fun weekend. Yes, Ryan is an advanced singer. ; -)
