This weekend was a big Boy Scout skiing weekend. Our Council goes every year. It's organized by Jack Berry who does an amazing job year after year. He's been doing this for so long that he makes it look seamless, even though we all know there is a ton of work that goes on behind the scenes.
Thank you Jack!
We arrived each morning before the crowds and secured our tables inside the lodge.
The boys spent the day snowboarding with friends.
While we ladies had a knitting bee inside the lodge.
After dinner, the older Scouts led the Cub Scouts, and younger siblings in a night of fun games and prizes. Secundogeniture did a fabulous job as a team leader guiding his young team through the ten different challenges. There were prizes for everyone!
On Sunday, Primogeniture went snowboarding on the North Face with friends on the black diamond trails.
They all stopped for a special waffle snack. Here Wendy and primogeniture enjoy a chocolatey tasty treat.
After lunch, Primogeniture wanted to drive our family home, so I sat in the back seat and continued knitting. All in all, I managed to finish six new pink swatches for new swatch blankets. It was a great weekend all around. Fun. Friends. Snowboarding for the kids. Knitting. Camaraderie.
I can hardly wait for next year. Maybe I'll even go skiing. What do you think?
I don't know...the knitting and chatting looks like a lot of fun and it's MUCH warmer than out on the slopes.
