Colorado Day 2 and 3

I am not exaggerating when I say it snowed from the time we got to the mountain to the time we left. We managed to get stuck three times.  I wouldn't recommend renting a minivan in Colorado.  We were pushed out twice.  The third time the three of us took turns digging around the tires and front of the minivan and pushing the car while someone else drove.  It took us an hour to dig and push the car to the front of the resort area we were staying at. It was exhausting and frustrating and miserable.  I didn't have energy to ski after that so I sat in the restaurant and waited for Andrew to ski.  

Look at these kids. So happy.  And this is what makes me happy.

We were late on the third day so Willie missed his class going up the mountain.  He rode the gondola by himself with a teacher.  Their little ski vests have a handle on the back of them to catch them as they start to fall down or to help throw them on the gondola.  I need one of those vests. Or three of them.

The snow was almost as tall as the children.  Willie ate snow whenever we went outside.  All he wanted to do was eat snow.

We made it out to dinner one night.  Lovin'.

Our bathtub had jets.  The kids were fascinated.  It took so long to fill it up but they didn't mind the wait.

Cozied in after a day of skiing. It was so cold on the last day.  My body was cold from head to toe and to the bones.  We snuggled in and watched a movie while we thawed out.
