Winter Park Days 3 & 4

Friday was probably the coldest day we were there.  The wind chill got down to -17!  This was the ski day.  I was so excited to sign Mason up for Ski School and so was he.  Granna stayed home with Evie since it was so cold and nothing for her to do at the mountain, so I went to meet up with Matthew while we watched Mason for a little bit.  Sarah and Caroline decided to ski a half day as well.

Mason was so excited about skiing until the minute Matthew dropped him off and he lost it.  Luckily, Matthew just left him and ten minutes later walked back and Mason was fine.  We signed him up for a half day which was from 11:45-2:45.  He did so well and loved every minute of it.  I think we have us a little ski bum.  :)  We made it back to the condo for dinner and then a soak in the hot tub.

he is such a big boy!

pretty good form

can you tell he was excited?!  He loved having his oj in a wine glass with us.  :)

He had to go potty and we were not about to take him inside, so we settle for going off the balcony.  ha!

Saturday was our last full day.  We woke up and went to Colorado Adventure Park for tubing.  It was so much fun and we were so glad the sun came out this day and it warmed up to a whopping 21 degrees!  :)  We went to the Library for lunch and beer and then went for a sleigh ride.  Sleigh rides in Winter Park are dear to me because this is how Matthew proposed almost 8 years ago.  Who would have thought then that we would have two kids and be living here now?!

The sleigh ride was fun, but so cold!  The sun was setting and since we were just sitting, I think we all about froze.  We stopped half way at a campfire for hot chocolate and roasting marshmallows.  We then headed to Hernando's, a popular pizza place (also the place we went after getting engaged) and waited an hour and a half for a table.  It was worth the wait and a fun way to spend our last night there.  Sunday morning we loaded up and headed home.

I think we just wore her out the whole week.  I can't believe she was just resting on the snow like this!

We decided the mountain air and all the activities are exhausting because I'm pretty sure everyone of us could have gone to bed by 9 each night.  We had such a great time together and definitely a Christmas we will all remember!
