Ski Trip Part 1

Over spring break we went to Colorado to go skiing with our church. We broke up the trip there into 2 days. We drove about 9 hours then stayed overnight in a hotel then drove the remaining 4ish hours to Crested Butte. It was a long drive but the boys did great! They're very good travellers. :-) 

This is his "are we there yet" face...and we hadn't even been driving that long!

Sleepy eyes and in his pj's. We took them out of bed early in the morning to start our drive.

We made it to our first destination! I want to say we stayed in Pueblo, Co....I'm pretty sure that was the town. We found a beautiful river for the kids to play around and take a great nature walk!

Caleb and Maddie.

Mondo and the boys ventured out on a stick and gave me a heart attack.

Throwing rocks.

Those two.... :-)

The next morning we took a scenic way toward Crested Butte.  There were lots of little creeks/rivers between the mountains.

We made it! That's our hotel called Elevation. (fitting name)

That night we went to dinner with a big group. The kids had a great time.

This crew thought they were big stuff being able to sit alone.



This year we decided to put both kids in ski school. It worked out great because it was a full day so Mondo and I were able to ski alone for the first day. :-) Ethan had a great time but I heard Caleb was looking for me. I didn't check on him at all on purpose because I knew if he saw me he would want to leave. 

 

They used this little conveyer belt to pull the kids up the little hill then they would ski back down. It was more of a slope than a hill.

Yep, this is pretty much the attitude I got when I picked him up. Haha! He was exhausted and had no interest in helping me carry his skis up the LONG hill to get back to the hotel. He was DONE. And I was too by the time we got back!

 



That's my ski boot. Just chillaxin on top of a mountain.



Me and my love on our ski day together. :-)
