Weekend ski trip

We stayed in Breckendridge, but skiied at Keystone b/c it was a better area for kids to learn. Turned out it was even better than expected b/c we could use our season passes to ride to the top and watch ski school. And, Andy could ski a bit. Here are some pics:

The three kids early Saturday morning right before Madi and Jack were whisked away to ski school...on the top of the mountain!

After re-grouping at the car with a snack and water...Andy, Drew and I rode up the mountain on the gondola and met up with Madi and Jack while they were having lunch.




Andy went for a short ski...first time in 10 years




Drew and I played in the snow...


and played in the lodge by the fire...while snacking.


Jack's class got started again... He is in the blue jacket with the red vest.



















He liked it and said he was the best in his class. He ultimately would like to snowboard, but that will have to wait awhile.


Then, I caught up with Madilyn as her class was coming up the "Magic Carpet" on the bunny slope.










She liked it, too. I think she found she was better at skiing than she thought she would be.

Drew and I rode the gondola down the mountain...








Bathtime back at the room.


Blue Moose for Sunday breakfast...

(Jack is doing a "pose" not a pout in both pics)
