So crazy couple of days in the mountains goes like this:
My dad rudely wakes me up on Friday morning telling me to get up and get ready. If you wake me up meanly, I go back to sleep, which I did. So a while later my mom came and scratched my back and woke me up. So i get in the shower and get out and get dressed blah blah and its 8:45 or so. Everyone kept talking about how we're leaving at 10. So I finish packing my bag go set it on the table start to look for some breakfast and next thing I know I'm being rushed out the door and told we aren't taking my car because it needs chains. So I'm pissed becuase we are taking the explorer and the jeep. With 8 adults and a baby that doesnt sound comfortable to me, not to mention i will have to sit in the back seat even thuogh i get car sick like major AND we have to drive the jeep back on saturday because we're coming back early. So I'm just annoyed and don't want to go anymore, right as we're pulling out my mom gives me the option of staying, but I just go anyway. On the way to my sisters we have to stop and buy chains for the explorer. Now, if I'm not mistaken we didn't take my car because it needs chains, but here we are stopping to buy chains for the explorer, yeah exactly. We get to my sisters house and pack everything I played with baby Joey because he makes me in a good mood when I'm aggrivated. My sister gave me some dramamine for the drive and we were off. I couldn't fall asleep in the car, evn with the dramamine because it was me, my sister, angel, joey, and baby joey and we were talking and whatever.
So we stop for breakfast and I swear we were at like the real life My Big Fat Greek Wedding restaurant. It was sooooo the movie. We were dying laughing. So we finally get back on the road and Joey just wants to hall ass and get up there because him and angel wanted to snowboard that day. Well of course 20 minutes after getting back on the road we see the jeep pull off the road. And we're like "wtf?" so we have to stop and wait.
Finally we get going again. Drive Drive Drive get up to the cabin. Everyone is in a major ass hurry to get to the slopes and just being hella annoying so i lay down on the couch and watch tv while my dad is telling everyone to hurry up so we can all get our rentals and what not (joey, angel, and ginger all own their stuff so they were going straight to the slopes) then my dad is like "Why aren't you ready" so what do I say? "Becuase you're being annoying and I dont want to go down there, stand in line for 2 hours, then have 20 minutes to ski." and Then I went back to watching tv while he went off about how they would have pleanty of time to ski. Everyone left, my mom was feeding the baby and I finally fell asleep, THANK GOD! So I woke up after a while because the baby was crying so I took him and put him to sleep (i'm the baby putter-to-sleeper, remember?) Then everyone came back and sure as shit, my dad, brother, and britnie didn't ski because once they got all their rental stuff done they only had 20 minutes. So we're all snacking and what not and finally we get ready and decide to go eat. we get to the restaurant at the lodge, there is a bar and enough seating for seriously 15 people. Obviously we didn't get to eat there so we went back to our house and just made turkey sandwiches. We watched Legally Blonde 2 and Finding Nemo.
Then since Joey and Angel went and stayed at Daniels Cabin (Friday was angel's birthday so they were celebrating) I got to sleep in a bed, which meant I was sharing a room with my sister and baby joey. Now sleeping in a bedroom with the light on (the baby can't sleep in complete darkness. i think its because he has to check up that my sister is there) and a baby that wakes up every couple of hours, I can handle, I've slept through worse. But the bed was worse that any time I've slept on concrete or gravel. Seriously, sleeping in the parking lot in Sparks was more comfortable than this. I woke up with my whole body cramped up it was so bad. No one really slept because it was SO uncomfortable.
So we all get up at 7 get ready and get down to the slopes. I rented my stuff and got hit on by the rental guy which was nice. Got my stuff all done and lalala then went skiing with ginger, joey, and angel. we went down this really nice long run. Then we went to find my dad because he didn't want to ski with britnie and marcus all day because britnie was snowboarding for the first time so she was staying on like the baby hills.
Well in the process of this...a little girl falls off the ski lift. She was sitting in the middle and was slipping off. The person she was with was trying to hold on to her and screaming for them to stop the lift and finally the girl just fell. My brother threw off his snow board and ran over to her through like waist high snow and she was like maybe 7 or 8 and just bawling. He was just talking to her, she majorly got the wind knocked out of her, but she was like so scared and couldn't breathe so she was like kicking and throwing her arms around which meant she could move her limbs ya know. So finally everyone comes and my brother can leave. So they go down the mountain. And they are pretty much done for the day because they were exhausted, especially after that. So my dad and I go on a couple more runs then its time for me, britnie, marcus, and ginger to leave. So we go back to the room collect everything. Say by to my mom and ginger and the baby and head home.
This is where it get REALLY nuts We get Sierra village to get gas and we're sitting there and my brother comes out from trying to pay and is like "everyone is fucking flipping out cuz that snow plow blocked that car in" so we turn and look and this car is blocked in on the front and one side. So we're like "wtf why don't they just move" so in the process of us trying to get has and wondering why they don't just move the car, the skinny hick snow plow guy and this very large man of some relation to the blocked in car start verbally fighting well snow plow guy throws a punch and the next thing you know he's getting his ass kicked. Well very large mans friend in gray who is also VERY LARGE comes and tries to break it up, but snow plow guy punches him so he jumps in too so now its two large men kicking snow plow guys ass, but then snow plow guys friend jumps in. Well everyone is trying to break it up, and so snow plow guys HELLA OLD MOM jumps in trying to break it up ends up getting hit and falls down ending the big fight. So everyone is like "WHAT THE HELL?" just watching. So at this point snow plow guy jumps into his snow plow and goes crazy. He starts collecting hella snow and putting it all over and around the blocked in car. Then he starts driving it screaming if we all don't leave he's going to block us in too. He drivs to the other side of the parking lot where the party with the car that originally got blocked in is standing by their cars and starts to try and block them in too. He almost runs this mexican dude over and he's just on a rampage. Well after he almost runs that guy over he almost runs over this passat so i'm like "oh hell no" bust out my phone and I'm like EMERGENCY 9 so I'm talking to 911 and since we were in a small town I had to wait to talk to the sherriff, well in the process off this Britnie and I are like "MARCUS LETS JUST LEAVE LETS JUST LEAVE" and snow plow guy almost runs us over! we were screaming and 911 guy is like "ma'am don't give up on me, don't give up one me I'll get you through" so we leave and go across the street while I'm talking to the sherrif and giving my statement and yadda yadda and snow plow guy takes off driving his snow plow up the road and we were like wtf? We waited for like 30 minutes because I had to give a statement to the sherrif and chp, but after that we were so sick of waiting so we just left cuz a)we figured there was enough people there to give statements and b) we didn't know if they would have to for some reason run my brothers license and technically his license was still suspended yesterday, so we just took off and headed home. It was soooooo insane. I've never seen anything like the things I saw yesterday. SO WEIRD!!!!!!
