Ski week!

Posted: Friday, February 28, 2014 | Posted by mary |

The boys had Presidents' Day week off of school last week so we headed to Utah to ski with a bunch of Craig's family.

I love to travel. Not as much with twin babies, but still worth it, I think. (Craig would argue the otherside on this point).  Even though we flew instead of driving, that 1 1/2 flight with a baby killed craig. 

All worth for the sheer joy that our boys felt all week- really improving at skiing, running around the cabin with cousins and getting to see so much family. (We got to see Philip and Lizzy and mike and their kids and four of craig brothers and kids. 
Mitt and Ann's new cabin is right on the slopes so we could stop by for hot cocoa or lunch - or just to thaw out on freezing days- anytime. Completely changed the skiing experience for me. I LOVE having that cabin there.


 the monkeys are SO hard to watch at the cabin. Way too much fun and trouble to get into to.





We could not have done this trip without all the baby help from Craig's parents (and Matt and Laurie and their kids)   Just having a lot of extra hands around made it possible. And one of my favorite sitters now lives in Provo so she came up on 2 different days so craig and I got to ski together with everyone all day.

First ones down- 8:45am

On our last day, we went sledding at mount mitt by the old cabin. I have the best memories of diving of my dads back and flying over the littles jumps when he took us tubing every winter in flagstaff. Then he would carry me back up the hill when my legs got too tired.  Now that I have done this as a parent, I know it is much harder than it would seem :). 

 I love their smiles is this.

Bye UT till next time!!!
