Due to the current cold snap, I am inspired to post some pictures of our family ski trip to Colorado.
My parents, brother and sister-in-law (who now live in the Denver/Boulder area) and our little unit went to Keystone, CO, in February. I was going to write this whole, elaborate post, but this will have to do. It was great to be with family, and Ella skied for the first time!! She was a total natural. She and Andy took a little "Daddy and me" lesson, and it was really cute. Here are some snapshots of our time....
getting fitted for boots and skis. I look like I'm in high school...
one of my favorite pictures of the girls. Ever. their personalities are perfectly captured...
learning how to put on a ski...
riding the "magic carpet" - that was all the ski instructor needed to say, and Ella was ON...
she loved pointing her skis straight down the mountain. i am running in ski boots to try and intercept her since she did not enjoy stopping on her own...
look at my baby go!!!...
Sadie wanted in on the action...
At the end of the lesson. Ella is clearly done. Sadie clearly wants Ella's skis...
here's a Cabbage Patch doll in a snowsuit. oh wait, still Sadie...
Nana and Ba, Ella and Sadie
Andy, Clay, Sarah and Cool Girl, ready for an afternoon of skiing and snowboarding...
Good times. Good times indeed.
