Rocky Mountain High

Long time, no post. We had a great but quick trip to Colorado and then we forgot our camera so had nothing to post last week. Since then we have stayed busy and both Marcy and I have been battling various winter maladies/colds. We both seem to be on the mend.

So we traveled to Colorado on a Thursday and we hit the slopes on Friday. Jack and Casey spent the day at school together while Lily was in ski school. On Saturday we all visited the mountain together and Jack and Casey both had a chance to try out the bunny slope. Lily spent the days skiing with the grownups. Sunday was tubing and some outlet shopping and Monday we were back skiing with the little ones in school.

We headed home on Tuesday after a treacherous ride to the airport. We made it to the gate for the plane with only minutes to spare! Wednesday was back to regular business.

The rest of the week was quite normal with back to school and work. On Saturday Jack and I got haircuts and on Sunday Jack attended his first birthday party -a gymnastics event.

That's all for now - here are some pictures and video.
