Basketball Season

Basketball season has officially ended. The kids had a great time and we had super coaches. Our end of the season party was at the skating rink. Even the coaches (who are really Big kids) skated with the team. Ronan skate was bothering him because his sock had something on it so being the great Mom that I am I gave him my sock so that is why I couldn't skate. Yea right I would've skated any how. :-) Next up is baseball season for both kids. Wish us luck.

So for some funny reason the school had a teacher in service day on a Tuesday. We decided that we would take the kids out of school for that Monday and head down to Garmisch for a long weekend. We woke up on Saturday morning and got out on the road by 9:15. What was supposed to be a 4 1/2 hour drive turned into 9 hours. We drove on some "roads" we were sure were not actual roads. We were convinced that our new GPS had led us astray. We realized later that it was trying to take us around the traffic. There was a lot of snow and I guess everyone decided to take a long weekend and go skiing. We had a great time. We went sledding and swimming. The resort has an outdoor hot tub so we sat in it while the snow was falling. Talk about beautiful. Ronan decided it would be so cool to roll in the snow and then jump back into the hot tub. He takes after his father. :-) We drove around on Monday, did a little sight seeing and we were back at the resort around 3. By the time we left the next morning (around 9) there was at least 1 foot of snow covering our car. We drove home in sometimes whiteout conditions but made it home in less that 5 hours. We learned how to work the GPS so that it would take us straight home with no detours.
