For 2 weeks of snow in Utah,we are leaving. The kids are excited to fly because they get to do extra things like watch DVD's and play video games which they don't usually get time for when we stay home. I get to sit back, nap, and read a book,and I love the plane too: once everyone is settled into their seats, with their electronic entertainment. CNBC, No. No Bloomberg. No telephone. Email, no. This is our first family ski trip since we've relocated from CO to UT. -Smile- Mimi and I hope the trip is worth all the work, she's been slaving for weeks to get ready. We had everything totally "dialed in" in Vail; now it's like starting over. But once we figure out the logistics like where do we drop the kids, what time do we pick them up, what can we do with them after the ski day is over, and where do I go to find/replace their lost mittens, goggles, hats, etc? I'm sure it's going all turn out fine. I can't wait to see Rachel on skis. She was only 2 and hadn't started preschool yet so it was a bit rough, when we tried last year. For ski school she wasn't ready. She is going to be very cute and it should make it alot easier this year.
