2016 Hayes Annual Ski Vacation

We left our house with a few sick kids. Natalie felt terrible the whole way and threw up 3 times. We had to re-arrange the carseat situation so that Natalie had a better view out the front window and all had to get a little closer and try to get along.

I took this photo right after taking the one above, approximately 45 minutes into the 8+ hour drive. Gus was sitting right between my legs with car seats on either side.

Finally they stopped crying/screaming/arguing long enough for both of them to fall asleep.

The rest of these photos are very much out of order, but it would require a significant effort to put them in order.

Another day at home to play...

Fun times in the bath with Auntie! The bathtub wall even looked like Auntie's license plate!

First day... discovering the magic of icicles!

Inside the snow fort/cave with all the girls.

 

Making a snow girl, Ms. Claus.

The drive home was so much better.

  

And then, blinding snow fog in Arizona... atop the Mogollon Rim.
