We headed up after school Friday for our Mid-Winter break! It is such a great break in the middle of Feb!
the snow just kept coming all week!
the pictures don't show much, but it was dumping snow!
Tom entertained a group of boys with his banjo.
after some powder days a blue sky day was just what we needed!
this never gets old!
the sky house is so pretty
snacks in the lodge.
these two! Ellie and Claire
we had a family ski day on Tuesday of our week and did some exploring and found the Lightning Tree and the Grandfather Tree.
The Grandfather Tree
Bill did some hot sauce testing with the kids at the Outback....ick!
The Lightning Tree!!! Ellie climbed inside.
we headed home for 2 days while Bill worked and we hung out. then headed back up to the mountain for Friday-Sunday.
It had been really cold for the week of break. My face was so freezing and Bill's nose got frost bite so we found this goretex-windstopper face mask to add to our collection. ha
do you spot the kid climbing the tree??
i look unrecognizable but it works!
more family skiing together on Friday. Was fun to be able to ski together.
Girls had their first sleepover at the mountain. Colette and Emma slept over!
Bill is a champ and played bean boozled with them and pie face.
easy to see the fireworks from our deck.
Katie had a birthday so we all went out for it. Was fun to celebrate with this group.
bummer it is crooked, but love these little notes from ellie.
