This was our view from our front porch of the house. Totally a blast!!! We drove down on Wednesday to Amarillo and then the rest of the way on Thursday. All three kids were great in the car!!! I had books on CD that I got from Scholastic - if you take road trips this is awesome!!! They listen to all of them and loved it!!!
I thought it would be fun to get a picture of all three kids in matchy-matchy clothes so much for that!!!
Snowball fight!! Whitaker had been wanting to have one and the snow was too powdery so while we were climbing up the hill behind the Claim Jumper sign Greg put together some hard snowballs! Brinley clearly hated it. She did not like the snow touching her face, hands, feet - she would start crying!
The first morning we got there we did snow angels in the untouched snow next to us. Yes that is me laying down doing one too. KK got the kids some fun skiing hats!!!
Creighton on the front porch - he pretty much did not leave this area, front porch and the house. He like being carried around and walking around the cabin and front porch but the minute you put all the clothes on him, he felt tied down and did not feel comfortable walking around. In the other picture, Whitaker climbed this humongo pile of snow. Whitaker loved the snow, he would just be walking by it and just throw himself in it.It was hilarious!!! We could be walking and I would push him in the snow and he would laugh. When we got back I asked him if he was happy to be home and he said "No I want to go back skiing and playing in the snow." Greg asked him the same thing that night at bedtime and he said "NO I want to go back and ski."
Ski School!!! The Pizza Boy (snowplow aka pizza for young kids) wanted to ski all morning and then go down with Daddy in the afternoon!! He could not get enough of this. He mastered the lift. On our last day his instructor let him and his friend that he met at ski school ride by themselves and we watched from a distance. So as I was somewhat thinking he was going to fall out of the lift and into the snow he did not - and then came the dismount from the lift and he did great- did not fall - skied over to the right and wa-la stayed on his feet!! We were all very excited for him as that is the worst part of skiing for me at least - the fear of falling off the lift and having to stop it for everyone!!
KK came with us and hangout at the cabin with Creighton - she was awesome cooked and hung out - what a grandma!
Here is the first day with his instructor on the lift and skiing
Daddy, Creighton and Brinley in all their gear
