Wolf Laurel

On the ride home Teresa and I reflected on our annual ski trip to Wolf Laurel. For a split second we asked ourselves "Is it worth it for just one weekend??"

There is the planning, the scheduling of so many people, the list making, the laundry, the packing, the meal planning, the purchasing of the groceries, the coordination of vehicles and passengers, the packing of the vehicles, the ride, the stops to pee, the unpacking of the vehicles, the unpacking of all "your" stuff, the deciding who will sleep where, the putting up of all the groceries and then....doing it ALL again in reverse when the weekend is over....WHEW!!

The answer to this question is a most definite YES!!

To have our family in one house and hear the conversations between our children and watch their relationships grow stronger, to hear the Roar of laughter well into the morning, to hear the stories of successful and maybe unsuccessful ski or snowboard runs, to witness Triston, Hunter and now Alivia grow and change every year, to see the smiles on the faces of all these people we LOVE and just BE with them if only for a weekend...

Yes, it is tiring and Yes, it is sometimes stressful so...will we gather again next year to repeat this wonderful process??...

YES...we can't wait!!!
