This whole trip was last minute. I'm not a planner. Like the day we went skiing, I pretty much woke up that morning and thought, "We may not get another chance. We've got to go skiing today!" I forced myself not to think about the economic cost. We just went and enjoyed it. It was fabulous! I'm grateful my mom got the cabin for us. She must have known we would love it. Moms are great! And I think I have one of the best. We wouldn't have done this without her.
On the way back to the cabin yesterday the song "Live Like You Were Dying" came on the radio. I'm not dying, at least not that I know of but it got me thinking. It was such a beautiful wintery, sunny spring day that I decided if I only had two months to live I would spend 2 weeks of it in the snow, sledding, skiing and playing with my kids.
Then I would drag my kids to Europe starting in the Sistine Chapel to marvel over the works of Michelangelo, track down the statue of David and visit the Lourve. I'd make one last trip to Disneyland with my family, and I'm still trying to figure out what else I would do because I know there's more I want to do.
So I guess I'm trying to say..
we are going to do this again.
Maybe next time we'll be able to get Papi to ski.
Or maybe not.
By the way, what would you do if you were dying?

I love your bucket list..Would it be okay if I just tagged along? :->. I've seen the David statue, the Sistine Chappell, and several of Michaelanglo's great statues and paintings, but none compare to being with my children and grandchildren. Sounds cliche I know, but it's true. Thanks for sharing these pictures. They warm my heart.
I'm so glad you guys had such fun, and yeah, you found snow!! Bless you for sharing those cold memories with your children. That's priceless.
I'd wish to go back to Give Kids the World with my family.
