Weekend Mountain Getaway

Friday afternoon we drove up to Keystone for a weekend getaway with the Doogans and Startzels! We were expecting to be welcomed with lots of snow, but to our surprise it was only a dusting. The kids were awesome! They absolutely loved playing together and spending so much time together. They were really flexible sleeping in bedrooms with parents and sleeping through our loud, intense game nights.

Saturday morning they decided to be monkeys jumping on the bed! After breakfast we thought we'd brave the cold weather and try sledding. Luckily the ski runs weren't open and were perfect trails for us! We didn't last too long because of the cold, but the kids had a good time nonetheless. I think we spent more time bundling them up than actually sledding!

Trekking our way up the mountain

Hazel is ready to go!

Steve & Brooklynn ready to take off!

Chandler enjoyed being pulled around

Sisterly love!

(And no we did not send them down like that, but maybe next time)

With all the excitement the kids were ready to nap and the ladies ready to shop! After naps on Saturday we took a dip in the pool before dinner. The boys did all the swimming with the kids - the moms were wusses! Brooklynn & Chandler got to show off those swimming lessons skills!

Guncle love and their noodles!

Saturday night after the kiddos went to bed another intense game night ensued! We broke out the Apples to Apples (which I had never played before - great game). Then the Startzels brought the "T-Shirt Game", which is similar to Apples to Apples but even better! If you're looking for an entertaining, comical game....buy it! Then came Balderdash (after some drinks in) it became pretty hilarious with Steve topping the night off with his definition.

Sunday we were on the road fairly early to make sure we'd be home in time for the Broncos game. Hazel & Brooklynn had to get in one last hoorah before we left and had some fun in the Pack 'n Play.

What a fabulous relaxing weekend! It's always great to get away (and it helps having Joan & Doug's sweet condo) and just hang out with friends. We feel so lucky to have such great friends for us and our kiddos. Can't wait for next year's trip - hopefully more incriminating pics!

*On a side note, Chandler did take her first steps this weekend - how could she not with 3 kids constantly running circles around her? YEAH CHANDLER! I'll post the video (if it's decent) soon, so stay tuned!
