Our annual Colorado ski trip has come and gone already. We had a great trip despite a rocky start. Last Tuesday night (we left on Wednesday afternoon), Madeline was up all night. She was miserable and kept complaining about her ear hurting ear. Fortunately, I was off all day on Wednesday and was able to get a doctor's appointment for her that morning. It turned out that she did have an ear infection. They prescribed her antibiotics which we were able to pick up right before we left for the airport. They seemed to kick-in quickly and she was totally fine the entire trip. Phew!!!
We love going up to Beaver Creek and we look forward to this trip every year. I think this was our 7th time up there. We stay at the beautiful Timbers Resort right on the mountain. The trip is spent skiing (I obviously didn't ski this year), relaxing (they have a beautiful spa with a "grotto"), and spending quality time with family. They have a awesome game room and a play area that they kids loved. Here are some of pictures from the trip...
Madeline and Parker got to play in the snow a few times. We definitely bundled these two Arizona babies up well! :)
On Thursday, Madeline, Parker, and I spent some time together while the others were skiing. I love watching the two of them interact. They hold little conversations with each other. It's adorable.
On Thursday night, we went to Beaver Creek Village for dinner. The rest of the trip we stayed in and ate at the hotel. The rooms have full kitchens which makes it easy, especially with little kids who get very restless when you take them out to eat!
Paisley and Parker relaxing with Grandpa!
Paisley took a full day lesson on Thursday. Doesn't she look the part with her ski outfit, goggles, and helmet? :) She really enjoyed her lesson and learned a lot!! Parker was begging to get out there on skis. Another year or two and he'll be on the slopes, I'm sure! Madeline, on the other hand, didn't seem too interested.
Madeline did, however, get the hang of throwing snowballs. Daddy taught her how to make and throw one and she picked up on the concept pretty quickly! I love this picture of the three of us with the beautiful resort in the background.
Grandpa, Paisley, and Aunt Emily getting ready to hit the slopes!
Grandpa took the kids down the bunny hill a few times. Like I said, Parker couldn't get enough of it!
