Friday afternoon . . hmmm - lets go skiing!!! Yes, lets do! After acolyte duties on Sunday morning, this crew was loaded up and truckin'! Colorado Bound!
We spent the night in Colby, Kansas and were in Denver at Casa Bonita watching cliff jumpers by lunch on Monday!
The boys went to ski school on Tuesday, while Kerry and I got to do some couples skiing!
This kid made up for last trip - no strep and no altitude sickness this go around . . time to board!
Well, a bit of a sad time for this one . . this was what he looked like when we picked him up after a long day at ski school.
. . and this is our youngest baby by 4:30 . . yucky ole altitude sickness! Rough night for Evan! But, guess who was ready for a breakfast buffet by Wednesday morning! Can't keep the kid down! It was also New Years Eve, but we had a sicky-- lucky for us the torch parade down the mountain and a SPECTACULAR fireworks show were literally right out our living room window! Pretty cool!
Pretty neat and great for Pitts boys to have an arcade at our resort and mini golf! 'Cause skiings just not enough??!
Back to the slopes!
Our second day on the slopes was snowy with fresh powder! Kerry and Evan . . .
Kyler . . .
Evan . . .
Jayden . . .
I mean . . the stuffed animal wanted to board too!!
After a day on the slopes . . pool and hot tub time!
There were about 10 hot tubs and a great indoor/outdoor pool to keep the Pitts boys water logged.
Final day on the slopes. It was a "bluebird" day on the mountain (I heard a local say that!) We all hit the slopes together . . it was fun last day!
Lesson learned: one must hold glove in mouth for selfies otherwise you end up skiing with one hand in your pocket to fetch a glove!
I have such fond memories of our family ski trips through the years - from age 6 through highschool! As Kerry has said, long after football, baseball and other sports are through, we can always ski together. It's a great lifelong sport to love!
