Ski Trip!!! 2009!

I don't know where to begin so I will start from the beginning! Cause I had finals the week of the trip I got them all done on thursday. Thursday night we finally got the computer back so we had Itunes. So I stayed up till 12:30am loading as many of my cd's as i could so i would have all my music for the ski trip. Got up Friday morning and wanted to finnish loading the rest of my cds so i started that at 8:30 i was not done till 45 min before i had to be at the church. So i run down to my room with the only suitcase i could find witch just happened to be the LARGEST one we own. I toss everything in it that i will need or could need for the trip. My sis helped me get everythign in the car. So off to the church i went.

Got there on time. I was thinking i was going to do my homework for my class i was going to be missing on saturday on the way up to Park falls that first night. Well i didnt i hung out with the little ones as they rotated on to the bus cause i cant sit in the back of the bus for too long. I think we stopped maybe 2 times on the way up... Had dinner at Arbys!!! Got to Park Falls unloaded the bus and part of the van and got all our stuff ready to stay the night! Girls in the cold basement but it was nice i slept by the fire so i was kinda warm but i only got 30mins of sleep that first night and we had to get up in the morning at 830 i think. Any way me not being a morning person and on a Huge 4 month lack of sleep i was not too happy about it. However morning came i was anoyed i mean HOW MANY TIMES DOES YOUR CELL PHONE HAVE TO GO OFF BEFORE YOU GET UP!!!!! Come on it was sooo anoying so needless to say i was up at like 5ish in the morning! GREAT was all i though. So by the time we Had to get i up i was ready to eat. Apple juice and a banana for breakfast!

Then we loaded everything we would need for the hotel back in the van and we hopped on the bus! Off to go skiing we went! It was soo neat when we got there! I started the day with a big group of us teens and i was snowboarding for the first part. All that need to be said about those chair lifts is they are THE WORST EVER! Talk about scary!! Well getting off them i thought would be easy but i was wrong! I got off a few time great i had 2 times at the beginning that where frustrating but the 4th time of the day was the one that got me! Mo was ahead of us and me and sari where saying it would be nice if the lift stopped right when we where up to get off well because it was mo's first time out she didnt know how to get off so we got our wish! well who would have that that wish would have came crashing down on one of us! Due to the fact we had no speed to get off we had a hard time i hit a rut garbed on to sari and i ended up infront of her so we where looking at eachother and i had let go of her Just ine time. In time for what you may ask oh just to have my back side of my board hit an ice rut and push my entire body forward. All i see is snow then i see sky and hear SMACK!!!! my head and shoulder blade smack the ground. I was wearing my helmet thankfully. I just stayed on my back laughing soo hard i was crying as sari and everyone else are above me laughing once they new i was ok. I took a few more runs got ditched a few more times then when in to eat.

After lunch i ended up putting on my skis and taking some advil for the head ach i had. After that i went out with One of the female leaders on the trip and we where ski lift buddies the rest of the day! We did alot of neat runs! Black dimonds and all!

After we where done we went to the hotel took showers and reloaded the bus to go to SUBWAY!!!!It took quite some time to get everyone through the line! It was worth the wait however! When we got back the girls jumped in the hot tub. We had a small group type question and answer time! That was interesting hearing the answers to some of the questions on the list. After that we went on the hunt for the soda and snack machine! I went to the room after that with one of my room mates and we ended up playing on facebook for a bit talking with other peeps from the trip cause they where all downstairs in the lobby using the computer down there to check theirs! Got up the next morning we had breakfast and loaded all our stuff in the van and hit the road back out to the ski hill!

This day i think was one of the funnest! I didnt snowboard at all! I had lost my snowpants and was scared cause we all had no idea where they where. I went to the office and asked one girl and she told me to ask a different woman. The second asked me what color and i said a light blue with ruffels on the butt pockets she took me to a closet she steped in and turned on a light! I have never been more elated in a long time to see my ruffle butted light blue snowpants!!! I had to go and buy socks at the ski shop cause i forgot my good pair back home! I went out with PW again seeing as though she wouldnt ditch me and we where having great fun little convos on the lifts anyway! Itt was sooo cold wait i remember it was -30 out that day!!! so it was COLD!!! we went down a few runs then went in to warm up JC decided to join us the next time we went out but before i did that i had to buy warm mittens cause my warm gloves were not retaining heat!!! So the three of us went out and met up with about 5 of the guys on the trip so all of us hung out till lunch. Then we all went out again but JC was teaching her kiddos to ski so she wasnot with us this time. I think there was only 4 of us 2 adults so it ment guys on one chair together girls on the other one! We had fun went through a wooded run a few times! talk about making decissions on a dime you had no time to think! We had races to see who could make it to the chairlift first! I do believe i had the Biggest come back!!! After quite some time we ended up going in for the day cause we had had enough. Eventually we loaded the bus again!

When we got back we had time to hang out I took a nice warm shower!!! I loved being able to take a shower everyday for a ski trip! We had ordered pizza! One of the guys said he was bored and wanted to do my hair as a joke and i was totally not joking when i said ok! i ran down grabbed hair clips bobbypins and binders! He totally backed down and one of the girls on the trip took my little binders and did my hair! It was quite the due! Then the pizza came so we ate! After that we did random things. We played a game that i played 4 years ago in Colorado on the ski trip. It is called Duckie Wuckie! Funniest game ever you have a person in the middle of the circle of chairs blindfolded with a pillow they sit on the pillow on someones lap and say Duckie Wuckie. The person they sit on has to somehow make their voice different and say Quack Quack. The blindfolded person can ask a total of three times and all three times they are able to guess who it is. E was the greatest on this game. He had sat on one of the girls lap and she did a loud QUACK QUACK. You could just see him think for a few seconds before yelling in all assurance that he would be right "It's an ANGRY SYDNEY!!!!" Ok so how could you not laugh extreemly loud at that. With that there was a big out burst of laughter and our pastor said No try again. He never did get it right but the nickname stuck with me for the trip. We had a question time after that. And of course more free time before bed. I fell apart while we where doing questions. I just dont favor the "Hell" questions. Having lost my Grandpa and being on a total lack of sleep. I wrote a poem for my Grandpa and got the chance to talk with JC again. We haven't talked about thing in a long time so it was nice. She let me use her airmattress for that night! Talk about THE GREATEST NIGHT OF SLEEP the ENTIRE TRIP! Yes thats right i slept!!

Got up monday morning had cold pizza for a tideme over till brunch. Played a game that i Wish i knew the answer too cause its still driving me up the wall!!! packed the van and bus and headed off to brunch then to home! It was a great trip! Loved it all!!!
