Things you find at Ski Weekend: 2011 Edition with some past highlights

This past weekend was our 5th Annual Ski Weekend with our friends Pete and Katie, Brittany and Andrew, Phil and Michelle (who couldn't make it this year) and Amy and Dave (who also couldn't make it this year). Ski weekend takes place in northern Michigan during the month of January and has since 2006. Here is how it works... Friday night you pack up your car and head north. Upon arrival we play board games, have some adult beverages, and lots of laughs.  Saturday brings the skiing and more laughs (and more beverages & board games). Sunday is whatever you like, but typically we get up, have breakfast and get on the road.  I forgot to mention this weekend is infused with plenty of food.  Friday night is snacks, Saturday morning is a special breakfast, Saturday lunch is on the slopes, Saturday dinner, and another special breakfast Sunday morning. Each couple takes a meal except everybody is responsible for providing snacks (and their own beverages).

So things you might have found at Ski Weekend 2011:
Upon arrival Pete realized he did not pack a sweatshirt. It was 52* in the house. So he opted for the Jedi outfit instead.

Beer Tender!

Thanks to White Elephant Christmas!

I think I am so funny at this game. Turns out Im mostly true.

This was really funny after getting the giggles from playing the board games. Its not as funny now...


Josh and I opted not to ski this year so we spent the day in Traverse City instead. We had pizza and a beer at Pangea.
