Skiing in Vernon

We got invited to go with good friends and their extended family to Silver Star Ski  http://winter.skisilverstar.com/  resort in Vernon.  So we headed out Friday night to go to Vernon, BC.   Things didn't start out so well.  Eric's work truck broke down so he was stuck at work an hour past when he was suppose to come home!!!  I had to go pick him up so we headed out much later then planned.  Then as we were almost into Vernon we got pulled over at a ride program and Eric and his big mouth said oh I'm driving without a renewed license!!!    We eventually got to the ski resort and had a good laugh and visit with everyone before we had to get the kids into bed for an early start.    The kids had never skied before so we got them beginner lesson.  They did so well and Ciara wanted to go with dad in the afternoon.   We were all so tired after skiing but while dinner was being made  (we had breakfast duty)   we took out kids (there were 8 kids total)  and heading into the village for hot chocolate,  face painting and some tubing!!!     We had a great night playing games while the kids crashed and then were up and out Sunday with a finishing skate on the pond.   All in all a fun weekend.
