Kellogg's Korner: Big White

I like to claim this was a birthday get away for Kevin's birthday since we left on his b-day, but it really was just an opportunity that we couldn't pass up, which we almost did (lame us.) Kevin's Mom being the super star Grandma that she is, agreed to watch the kids for a few days and we made it work. Big White, British Columbia here we come. Kacey and Garth invited us to join them, the Merrill's and the Law's, and use Garth's Mom's condo for a weekend of skiing and grown up time without the children. What a super, fantastic, fabulous, memorable, relaxing, can't wait to go back trip.

I picked Kevin up at work, as it is 1/2 way to Canada anyway, then we crossed the border and worked our way up to Big White. We spent the next day skiing in what I like to call one of those ski days you will always remember, snow was just right, weather amazing, company was great, the resort was just the right challenge, yadda yadda. Can you tell it was F-U-N? After a hard day of skiing we hit the jacuzzi and had dinner, played some games etc...And we got up the next day and did it all again. We are lucky. We mostly all stuck together on the slopes the first day, but on the 2nd day we split up a bit and the Kellogg's and Hamilton's ended up together on a few runs and we went down the famous "cliff" run. It was memorable I will say, especially when the wind picked up and you couldn't really see what you were dropping into. Good thing the snow was soft.

We had never met the Merrill's before and we are so glad we did. We laughed a lot on this trip and we think the Law's and Hamilton's and Kellogg's should go on some more couple trips together for sure.

Check out the beautiful Bluebird day!

-Kacey and Me

-I have never seen so much snow on the roof of some of these places-I tried to do it justice, but it was truly a beautiful sight not worthy of my photography skills. So So much snow everywhere!

-Matt, Natalie and Adam headed down a pristine slope that we had all to ourselves. This was one of my favorite runs that was long and endless fun, with hardly any other people to dodge. Wish we had done this one a few more times.

-Funny story here-So this is Matt and if you look at the very bottom middle of the picture you can see Kevin in the back. So this is triple chair and Kevin was suppose to get on this lift with us, but he suddenly panicked thinking it was a double and pulled out so hence Matt ad I were on the lift alone. We are still laughing about this moment.
