Embracing the Moment

We took Myles out of school one Friday in April so we could all go skiing for one last time this season. It was great. But, then we got stuck up in the mountains thanks to a crazy snowstorm. We brought nothing for the situation. Nothing. Except Gilby's contact solution, he threw that in "just in case." We bought overpriced swimsuits so the kids could go swimming at our hotel. As an adult, I would have much rather been at home where I wouldn't have had to sleep in my ski clothes only to continue to wear them the next day. But, I'm pretty sure the kids couldn't have thought of a better scenario. We worked to embrace it all in the spirit of family togetherness and childhood memories. It ended up being a sweet and slow 24 hours away that included cuddling in bed watching Saturday morning cartoons - something we wouldn't have done at home. I love my little family and these wild and crazy years with young kids.
