When Zach and I talked about going skiing again this year, we decided we weren't going to. We wanted to build on what the kids learned last year, but we decided we would go every other year. Then, we had friends contact us and ask us to go with them. Again, we were ready to decline, but then they told us what the housing would cost us, and we just couldn't pass it up. We took a few days off school and headed to Fraser.
The first day we spent at Winter Park. It snowed the entire day.

Monroe did really well. Winter Park has a lot of greens to choose from, and we stayed on those all day.

The next day we went ice skating. I was glad they had these walkers so that the kids could all get used to the ice.
Monroe and Grace were trying to hold each other up without making the other fall.

They fell a lot, but it never seemed to bother them.

Then the boys decided they didn't need the walkers anymore, and they thought this was really cool!

Then we went home for hot chocolate and games. We played so many games around this table over the weekend.
That evening after supper, we went tubing. Going at night was fun!

The boys couldn't go on a tube by themselves. They loved going with Faith.

Thank you to the Eickhoffs for inviting us! It was a wonderful trip!
