We woke up early morning Wednesday to go to the bus station to go to Mont Orford for our ski trip. When we arrived at Magog,  we stopped at this little restaurant to ask the lady’s inside how we get to Mont Orford Ski Resort. They said it would take 30 minutes to get there – expensive taxi ride. The hotel were supposed to pick us up but they arrived 30 minutes late. I very nice lady drove us to a shuttle bus downtown that went to Mont Orford. I was starting to get very fustrated about the trip…because the shuttle bus took us to where we were still 1 kilomitor away from the hotel. I called them to come pick us up which they did. They gave us our ski pass and the room was nice – but we lost about 2 hours of ski time. We were only able to ski 4 hours out of the trip. I wish we could of done more, but we did end up having an amazing time. I have never skied with mini ski’s and omg .. the first moutain .. once that thing took us up  .. I was like I’m going to die going down this hill, what do I do – it was one hell of a hill 🙂 There were kids with a ski instructor who were laughing at me because I did not want to move. The intructor tried to help but wow, it was scary and thrilling lol.  By the third time, I had kind of mastered going down – at least good enough to get down with out falling over and over. Now my body is in major pain to be honest with you. The hotel came to pick us up at the resort. We had a 4 star hotel with a nice fireplace, sauna bath and a bottle of red wine which finished the night. We were really exhausted – wow, does skiing ever tire you out !!! 🙂  We came back home this morning. I will start the gym routines again while Drake goes to school to learn to speak French. Tonight is early bedtime, but I will talk to you all tomorrow 🙂
