Houge Ski Trip






We love our tradition of skiing a week with Paul's bro and fam, Mark, Anne, Lauren & Johnny annually. This year, mom and dad Houge came out, too, which made it even more fun! Some highlights included taking Johnny to the outback ski area and then taking a snow cat from there to the black diamond bowls. Johnny was such a trooper and did awesome. Another highlight was when Mom and Dad took the gondola to the top of the mountain and met us there for afternoon snacks. We really enjoyed going to the ski tip lodge and getting hot drinks. Mom made up word games (being the English teacher/librarian) and we couldn't believe Lauren's knowledge of words! We cannot wait until next year!

Yutzy Ski Week








Mike and Tina and the girls came out for a fun ski week! Bethany and Abby took ski lessons but enjoyed tea parties more than skiing. We had a great time of relaxing and hanging out together. At the end of the day, Paul realized he had a gaping cut in his leg after skiiing all day, and received stitches. The girls also enjoyed snow tubing on a small hill by the condo. Wish they lived closer:)
