Winter Ski Trip

We had a wonderful 7 day ski trip to Breckenridge, CO. Santa very came early on Christmas morning then we headed to the airport (in Uncle Tyler's words...Home Alone style). Made it to the airport on time and had a great flight.

So great memories for Gage's 1st time skiing...Spent quality time with the Hardwick family playing Uno, Candy Crush, snowball fights and Breaking Bad Marathon. Stood in line at 10pm (20 degrees out) for 2 hour wait on Crepes. Won $60 Apple gift card on a game at Eric's. Skied on the mountain while Shaun White was there. Had some fun with the GoPro. Went down Gold Coast Runner. Created awesome artwork at Ready, Paint, Fire. Uncle Tyler stopped by while visiting friends in Denver. And we (I) shopped too much (if that is possible).

Gage loved ski school (didn't care one bit that he was with complete strangers for 7 hours a day) and the Gondola rides. I asked him if he took a nap at ski school and he said, "They asked if I want to nap or ski and I said ski of course!" Lakin loved a 1 day "refresher" ski school then hitting the slopes with the big boys. Katie loved snowboarding for the first time - Level 3 shredder baby!! Mark loved the powder in the bowls with Johnny and Sam.

On the way back, our drive to Denver was a little crazy blizzard. It took us a few extra hours to get to the airport but we made it safely then hit another storm from STL to Beardstown. Did I mention 2 snow days to start off 2014 school year and Mark left a day after we returned to head down to Argentina!



PS - My New Years Resolution is to hand over my camera so I can be in some pictures!!
