ya - know what???

I was just about to complain about how bored I was and how my friends should update thier blogs 'cause I had nothing to read... when I realised, that I couldn't say anything seeing as how I hadn't updated mine either... so I figure doing as promised and telling about my March Break should alleviate my boredom...

Well, I went on the trip with my aunt, uncle and twin cuz's... heeheehee it was fun!!!... back to the story... we left early Sat morning (as you'll know if you've read my earlier posts...) ... first we drove to Montreal and spent some time visiting my uncles old roomate... his daughter speaks perfect english (and her parents have never heard her say a word of it) and we all speak french... plus the guy is a gourmet cook... you know me... as long as the foods good... the next day we all went tubing... talk about fun!!! then me and my cuz's went skating on these frozen over streets through the woods... man do french canadians ever know how to make ice rinks!!! they even had a sugar shack there!!!

We then went to Mont St. Anne just outside of Quebec City... it was great, we met up with four other families who live on my cousins' street... I've skied with a few of them before and met all the others... we shared two huge chalets and had sooooo much fun... it was weird tho... all us kids were girls!!! so anyways... we skied St. Anne for three days... they had a sugar shack there too!!! it was half way down the mountain, on one of the runs... yummy mapple taffy!!! we had my aunts birthday there too... we bought the cake mix (with her there... oh well she didn't notice *shrugs*)... and then baked it one afternoon while she had a lesson(heeheehee... 2hrs on the moggles... what a b-day!!!)... we told her we were staying in with one of the girls who had hurt herself... and she beleived us!!! she didn't even clue in 'til we brought her cake out that night!!! heeheehee... they tried to do the same thing on my b-day... only with a bought cake... didn't really work tho... the whole original plan was my idea...

On Thursday we went to Massif and skied there for the day... the views there are gorgeous!!! it looks like if you kept skiing at the bottom, you'd go right into the St. Lawrence!!! suposedly you can even whale watch during spring skiing!!! you can really feel the wind there though and everything gets pretty icy pretty quick... on our last two runs I went sliding down this one section on my butt... twice!!! and it was my birthday too!!! oh well, the first time was an accident... I've skied pretty icy mountains before... this section was pure ice though!!! the second time however I got fed up halfway and decided to take the fast and easy way down... besides... it was fun!!!

on the friday we went into Quebec for a quick visit on our way to Vermont where we were going to visit friends of friends (they're amazing cooks too!!!)... they have this great house on one of the mountains... you can't see any neighbours and thier property is like 10acres!!! and it's only a 10 min drive to the ski hill... so on saturday we skied Burke Mountain... which I have to say, was my favourite the whole trip (fave ever is Big White, in the canadian rockies)... the views there were gorgeous too... plus the trails were all cut with the treeline... they were relatively narrow and really nice... my cousins even dragged me onto a double black that was like a really, really steep glade.... have I ever mentioned how much I hate moggles... well, I do!!! ... funilly enough though... I enjoyed that run... maybe it's cause there were lots of trees and it was steep so I wasn't thinking about moggles... who knows...

then... came the nine hour ride home where we all proceded to drive each other nuts... oh well... it was fun!!!
