A night away

Mom and Colin get the condo up at Powder Mountain a couple times a year for some R&R. Their plans for quiet time quickly go out the window after they invite all of us up for the weekend. My kids and I didn't even get there until Saturday evening, and yet my kids still caused them to question their kindness in inviting us. Ally had been waiting all day to go up to the "pondo", she really thought we were going to a pond, and she would be swimming with ducks. Don't even ask me where she gets these ideas. She was thrilled when we finally were able to head on up, after football. The kids needed to cool off and headed straight for the pool first thing. They had to hurry and get started to get all the stuff in that they wanted to do. Basketball, pool, swimming, hiking, the crane, the ski lift, staying up all night, driving their mother crazy, you know the basics of a night away with all their cousins. We had a fun time. It made me very excited for fall. After the heat wave we've been having, the cool mountain air felt SO wonderful, and it made me want that kind of weather down here. But it looks like we are still in for some heat....oigh drinking lots of ice cold water.
