Canyons Ski School

 My sister found this great deal at the Canyons for their ski school. We dropped the kids off at 8:45 and then picked them back up at 3:30. They provided the rental, pass and lunch all for $39.00 a kid usually $200.00. It was great the kids absolutely loved it and the teachers were wonderful. By far the best $39.00 I have ever spent :)

I have to be honest the morning was ROUGH.... I have not been to the Canyons in years and did not realize how big it was. We find a great place to park and I was thinking this is going to be great. We are getting out of the car when Tylers says, "Mom I don't have any shoes"  It was one of those Mom moments when you want to scream and yell  but decide it's not going to change anything so might as well zip the lip  and just tackle the task on hand.  So I carried Tyler in one arm, Kennedy in the other, my purse and diaper bag. Kaden carried the snow clothes and Lincoln was straggling behind us. After what seemed like an eternity we made it to the sign that said ski school, I was so relieved to walk in those doors. I then learned this was the first stop to get their passes. Tyler needed to then go across to the other side past the lift. At this point we also realized that the boys gloves had been left at home. (I had left Tyler in charge of packing the clothes, everything was in one big pile in the middle of the floor but had forgotten to tell him I put their gloves on the heater vents the night before). So I walk back outside to make the trek by this time Lincoln is crying so luckily a nice Canyons worker, Steve,  offers to help and I hand him Kennedy who then starts crying. So I now have my bags, Tyler in one arm and crying Lincoln in the other with some stranger holding Kennedy who is crying. We drop Tyler off which was a little crazy. I left their took Kennedy and the nice Canyons worker followed me back as tears were streaming down my face. I was EXHAUSTED emotionally and physically. I always have a hard time leaving my kids especially Tyler since he is so shy and gets nervous easily and things didn't go super smooth so I was worried about him.  I find Kaden luckily he was with my sister who had just shown up. My sister took Lincoln and I took a moment to regroup. I was embarrassed that I had lost it. Luckily my mental breakdown did not affect my boys and they had a total blast :) Oh the adventures of being a Mom. I could barely move my arms the next day. I think it is time I start working out again so that I can handle moments like these with a little more diginity :)
