On Friday night, our friends the Treismans came over. I was really exited to see them because I was starting to get very sick of my family. The parents’ names are Mariya and Michael. They have two kids named Quincy and Harper. Quincy is 9 and Harper is 6. They are all so great. Over the weekend, we went to their hotel’s Onsen and we did a lot of skiing. On Monday, my dad and the Treismans went to Kiroro and stayed in a “apartment ” above a barn. In the barn there were all sorts of animals. Goats, horses, bunnies, even an ostrich! I wanted to go so bad but my parents wouldn’t let me miss any school!

In the middle of school on Wednesday, my mom came and picked Decker and me up. We drove and drove for 2 hours to Moiwa. We went to the one in Niseko. When we got there my dad and the Treismans were already there. Our other friends the Hickeys were also there. The parents names are Jeff and Hannah. They have a kid named Riley who is my age. She is  really nice. We shared a house with the Hickeys while the Treismans were in a house right next to us. Right next to us. Both of the houses had an Onsen. Every single day we went skiing. Every single time we got home the parents would go in Onsen. Every single time we got home the kids would start on our fort.

Our fort was awesome!!!! We built a meeting area that was really big, had a chair for each of us, and it even had a tunnel full of three hundred snowballs. It also had a slide going into it and a secret place covered by ice chunks that had our special ice balls. Our fort was built on a snow bank that was nine feet high. We made a slide down it but it only went for about a foot and then you had a eight foot drop. Right on the edge, we built a three and a half person trench that was four feet deep. In front of the trench, there was a moat that held a ton of snowballs. Next to the trench there was a three foot hole. On the last day we had a war with the grownups. We totally won. We were hitting them left and right with snow balls and spraying them with shovels full of snow. Our one big fault was our hole. Someone was hitting Harper with a snowball and she was running. She didn’t see the hole until it was to late. The next second you would have found her head first in a hole with just her legs sticking out.

We went to a lot of ski resorts. One we went to was called Rusutsu. Where we walked through it we passed a hallway with a group of singing bears. They were hilarious!!

We went to a lot of different ski areas. My favorite one was Rusutsu. It was so much fun!!
