Dad came to get us at like 8:30pm.  We rode up to Stratton VT in a Denali SUV. Dad stopped to get gas and some snacks and drinks. We listened to some CDs on the way up.  One of my favorite songs, If You're Gonna Play in Texas, You Gotta Have a Fiddle the Band by Alabama.  Dad said he didn't like that song.  But I do and so does my sister.  Then we listened to one of my other  favorite songs,
called Peace of Mind by Boston. We our GameBoy SPs and held onto Joey because he came with us. We finally got to VT and checked in around 10:30 at night.  When we saw the sign that said Welcome to Stratton my sister yelled, "we're in Hollywood now!"It was funny.  And the village and all the condos were lit up with white lights like a winter wonderland. Dad unpacked the truck and then went to the store to get some food to have in the condo.  We played Playstation and watched cartoons.  Then we layed down on the couches that turn into sofabeds.  At first Brandon slept in the same bed as me but then he moved to Jacob's bed. Rachael slept on a different mattress from a  bed.  Joey slept with me. It's great because we are in the same condo as last year    It almost felt like its another home of ours, like the way we always felt when we would stay at the Samoset in Lake George every summer.
Except now we can't stay there this summer, because they are turning it into a big indoor waterpark.  And it won't be finished until next summer.

We woke up early and Dad had to got out and get more stuff that he couldn't get last night because we got there so late.  I don't think that we are supposed to have our dog here so we are making sure he doesn't bark alot.  But we found evidence of another dog being here before - a dried up turd that was under the couch when we moved it to pull out the bed last night!!! LOL  So that made me think that maybe its ok that Joey's with us. We had breakfast and got ready to go to a ski lesson.  Dad arranged a  private lesson for me, Brandon, Rachael and Jacob.  But Rachael couldn't go to the lesson.  Her boots were hurting her so Dad had to take her to get her boots custom-fitted.  She was crying.  Jacob fell a bunch of times during the lesson.  He had to take his ski blades off after a while.  When Jacob was trying to go up the lift on the bunny hill, with the ski instructor, he fell.  So the
instructor had to pick him up and he stayed near the instructor the rest of the time.  Brandon and I went up the lift and skied down the bunny slope like 4 times and then we skied halfway down Stratton twice.  Dad had us take lessons because he said we were 'rusty' because it was a year since we went skiing last.  Brandon's feet were hurting because they were really really cold. My hands were really really cold too.  And I fell on my butt when I jumped off the ski lift. I can't believe those lessons cost 250 dollars!!! All we did was go down the bunny slope 4 times.   But then Dad met us where we were waiting with the ski instructor near the ski rentals.  He said, "we're gonna ski the way home"...so we had to go on the lift, we went down some trails to get home.

Once we got home we looked at the map of ski trails and decided to go down Yodler Express.  We could've went down Mark's Run, which is our favorite trail.  Yodler's Express was pretty smooth but we had to go down a pretty steep hill that's short  but had ice. Then Brandon kept on so he would go slower.  When we had to go down the steep hill, I accidentally went onto a different trail so I turned around and started going across the trail and started going down this trail nobody was really skiing on and I fell.  And I started crying because my fingers were numb and cold. I was behind Dad and he had yelled to me to cut across the trail and when I fell he expected me to get up immediately but I didn't because I was crying.  He didn't know I was crying. Then when he realized I was crying (Brandon was with Dad), he took off his skis and started running up the mountain.  But then when everything was ok Dad put his skis back on and we skied the rest of the way home without falling.

Mom made me some chicken noodle soup when I got back.  Rachael had some too. 

Then Brandon and I took a nap because we were exhausted.  We slept for three hours. Dad made a steak and I didn't get to eat it because I was asleep.  He made a fire and when I woke up I was REALLY HOT because I still had my chili's (thermals) on and my head felt heavy.
