Ski trip

Winter Park, Colorado
This ski trip is the start of a great family tradition. Besides my guilty feelings of Drake hanging back at the condo with Heidi while we skied and Dane being in full-day lessons for 2 days I think over-all the trip was a hit with everyone. The 3rd day Dane was given the go-ahead to ski with us. We purchased one of those little harness things to keep him from "getting away" from us on the mountains and he skied with us. At one point Dane told me to quit holding him back because he wanted to go faster...not yet little boy!

Making due with condo kitchen supplies in the tub...I didn't think of packing tub toys.


Dane on the Magic Carpet...adorable ...little kids ride the escalator up the little slope and snowplow down..so cute, I'll try to attach a video of it.


Me getting a little cuddle time between my skiing with my boys. Heidi brought Drake down to watch Dane do his lessons between them playing on the playground. There was plenty for them to do around the resort.




Andy and I at the top of Mary Jane...we were above the tree line and you can see the clouds right behind us. Beautiful view and very fun skiing down to the bottom. Atleast 20 minutes of skiing without needing to get on another lift.


Family photo taken right outside our condo. We could put our skis on and ski to the lift and at the end of the day, ski right to our door. The retaining wall to the left is where the hot-tubs are...need I say more!


Drake looking out condo windo. We had a great 2 bedrooom condo with full kitchen. The most amazing part was the access to the mountain and our views.


1st time out with mom and dad...Dane barely slept the night before and didn't want to nap, though the meltdown on the mountain reminded us he's 4 and needs his sleep.
