Martin Luther King 3 Day weekend

We had a great three day weekend, starting with John and I heading up to the mtn. on

Thursday. We had an amazing time and did great getting in 11runs for the day. We would have done more but on run #10 my binding broke while I was headed down the mtn. causing me to crash big time. Then on the last run, after fixing my binding, I was so sketched out that I face planted big time. It's been awhile since I had wrecked like that and I've started having 2nd thoughts on Snowboarding.
John and Aleksia went back up Friday after school and had a great time. They made it back just in time for Aleksia's to see Mary and Helen, her cousins from Phx. The twins were here all weekend and they all played in the snow every chance they got. They were over here Friday night, all day Saturday and Sunday night, sledding and building an Igloo hotel. They stayed out until they had to come in. Saturday night Grammy and Paps took them to the movie Mall Cop, it must of been good because all I heard on Sunday were comments or quotes from the movie causing bouts of laughter.
On Monday, John took them up snowboarding for the whole day. He ended up putting them all in a Snowboarding School, Aleksia scored and got private lessons for group lesson price. She was the only one in the advanced class and got to hang out with her instructor Brad all day. He said she did awesome and finally got her toe side down and even going down the last two runs edge-to-edge. For those of you who don't know, that is when you head pretty much straight down the mtn. getting down the fastest (and crash the hardest when your binding breaks). He said that we should really put her on the Snowboarding team, hum following them around to different ski resorts and lots of vacations, sounds good to me.
The twins did great to. Helen was able to beat Mary down the mtn. and was really feeling it Today. Mary started to catch up at the end, and they both made some great improvements. They weren't to happy on the last run though when John and Leks took them up to the top. They took quite awhile getting down and made it to the rental shop right as they were locking the door. They did make it down but I'm not sure how soon will get them to go back to the top though.
On Saturday, John and I got up on the roof and shoveled the snow. We were getting Ice Dams and had to get the snow off before we got leaking problems. We ended up getting all of the snow off but couldn't make a dent in the ice. We both only slipped a couple of times but luckily had no falls. John was really thinking about Snowboarding off the roof until the girls convinced him otherwise.
All-in-all it was an amazing weekend spent with great company. I hope everyone else had a great weekend.
