Bittersweet




Yesterday we got to go along with 6 of our Junior/Senior Youths and 2 other adults on a trip to a ski resort called Bittersweet up near Kalamazoo Michigan. It was a really fun day that started of with a bang! (Alyssa face planting into the snow and ice) She was a great sport about it and just laughed it off... I think anyone else would have called it quits after that but not "Bloodbath Alyssa" - she's all about going big or going home, no guts no glory!! (be sure to click on the 2nd pic to check out the damage!) Matt was able to make a few runs down the mountain so that made him very happy... going down those few times helped to remind us both how out of shape we are (at least he had the chemo excuse to fall back on! I had nothing!) We spent most of our day sitting in the sunshine and just watching the kids come zooming down the hills - it was a beautiful day. Lots of laughs.
