Spring Break

We had a wonderful family vacation over spring break.  We checked the sisters out of school a little early on Friday, packed up the suburban, and headed west.  We stopped overnight in Amarillo, and then kept on driving west.  Needless to say, Little Man is not a fan of driving for hours on end.  But we managed.
The Mister scored on the vacation rental... He found a 3 bedroom townhouse about 20-25 minutes south of the ski resort.  It was perfect!  The sisters shared a room (and it had it's own TV) and Little Man had his own room (all upstairs with a full bath).  We had a large master bedroom downstairs with a king-size bed (we have to have a king... otherwise no one gets any sleep!) and a large master bath.  They even had a garage and a washer/dryer!  We managed to cook all of our evening meals at home and make lunches for the days we skied.
Purgatory (now called Durango Mountain Resort) was wonderful!  I would go back in a heartbeat! There were plenty of green runs (easy) for us to chose from, and even more blue runs (medium difficulty).  The sisters were great skiers!  We had to tell them a time or two (or three or four) to slow down because we couldn't keep up!
Little Man went to childcare the 3.5 days we skied.  He didn't like it much.  But he wasn't horrible for them either.  I think he just tried to tell them who was boss.  Apparently they didn't know that everyone should focus their attention on him!  Imagine!


Here are some pics from our trip:

The sisters striking a pose... the one in the blue coat is a little crazy!


 A quick pic on the lift.



Little Man has started this new thing...
He raises his arms over his head like he's on a roller coaster.  It's cute... we all say "Yeah W___!"  And he grins from ear to ear.  Here he's doing it with some kitchen utensils toys in his hands.

I'll show you pics from the wild drive home another day.
