Ski Retreat Day 1

After a VERY long bus ride from Colleyville, TX, to Durango, CO, we finally were allowed off the bus and into our Ski Lodge!  We were greated with beautiful weather and breath taking views!


After unloading all of our luggage into our rooms, we loaded back on the bus to pick up our skis, boots, boards, and poles. 



While the boys were downstairs getting fitted, the girls stayed upstairs and played Frogger...a weird little game! 
We headed back on the bus and back to the lodge to get ready for daily mass and evening activities!


After a beautiful mass and a delicious dinner, we set up for Alex's night...Fear Factor and Minute- to- Win-It.  Fear factor included drinking "smoothies" made of spam, chocolate milk, chips and cookies; pork rinds, coke, vienna sausage and cookies; sardines, srichi sauce, cookies and energy drink; anchovies, lucky charms, juice and cookies.  I gagged almost watching them drink it! 






There are way too many Minute to Win It pictures to post (see facebook if you are really interested), but there were games like Bobble-Head, ChapStick Chopstick, Cotton Nose, Dance Off, Sharpen Up, and Hula Hoop!  I think we all went to bed with sore cheeks from smiling and laughing so much! 

Stay tuned for recaps of the rest of the nights!
