Cey's March 2016 Ski Trip To Sunshine Village

We had a wonderful time this passed March/April when the Cey's came out our way to doing some skiing and snowboarding at Sunshine Village ski resort. Corinne had gotten a great deal on accommodations in Banff that would house both of our families so we jumped at the opportunity to join them on their mountain adventure. The facility was fantastic for kids, with 2 pools and a gigantic indoor adventure playground that was well suited for kids of all ages. This worked out great for our family as Karolin and I alternated days with our kids so we could each have a day to ski with the Cey's. The weather was okay for the first day and then a blue bird day for the second so we really lucked out. The second day Glen stayed back in Banff and Anni, Helerin, and I took tourist passes for the day so we join Karolin, Corinne, Julia, and Brandon up at the main base and watch them do some runs. Worked out well. Anni had a mini meltdown on the gondola ride up but soon settled in and enjoyed her visit up to the ski hill.

Brandon really WAS excited inside. A small smile was cracked though, 'B' style

The always ready for a pose and a smile, Julia. Mama Corinne consistent as usual with her smile

The kids were actually just anxious to get up there and start snowboarding!

Here we go!!

Funny face picture. Yep, mama Corinne consistent as usual :)

Still consistent

The daredevil herself, miss Julia!

Visibility opened up for us so we were able to get up on the Great Divide chair for a few runs

All smiles for this one!

The infamous women's underwear tree. We all got a good laugh from this one!

I think Corinne may have thrown this one on the tree??



Gondola ride for the girls. Anni was having a mini melt down

Helerin was enjoying her gondola ride

Auntie Corinne even MORE smiles holding her little neice

Poop time. We took care of this one outside on the bench while mommy was up for a ski run

The girls had a lot of fun playing around this sandwich board sign

They were trying to entertain these snowboarders

Anni helping mama out by carrying her ski poles

So cute :)

Lunch break outside the main Day Lodge.

It was a gorgeous day

Group photo but Helerin was done. Nap time had arrived

Mama and the Cey's headed back up for some more runs. Helerin, Anni and dad headed down for a nap

Helerin was quite intrigued by Julia and her snowboard

Now watching mommy gear up

Now watching auntie gear up!

She was sure curious about all this activity going on around her

Mama all ready to go for round 2. She was LOVING the skiing :)

Anni wasn't letting go of those poles. Made her feel quite important

Here they go!!

All SMILES!

On our way back down to the condo for a nap

Anni was pumped for her Kitkat bar

Slowly drifting into dreams......

What a precious little smile :)

Didn't quite make it to the condo. Not even to the bottom of the gondola to be precise

Saw some sheep on our down from Sunshine
