More Breckenridge

Yesterday we had a great day of skiing with Jocelyn, Hannah & Kaitlin. It was Kaitlin's first time on the slopes and it has been 5 years since Hannah skied, so it was almost like starting over again.





By the end of the day Hannah was skiing the green runs all by herself and Kaitlin had mastered the bunny slopes. So today Rodney took Jocelyn & Hannah out skiing again and they finished the day with skiing several blue runs! Hannah is very adventurous so this was another mountain she conquered. Joc wasn't too excited about skiing the blues, but in the end she loved it! They skied with our friends The Schueller's who were also here in Breckenridge for a few days.

Breckenridge, CO

We have finally made it to Breckenridge, CO. Rodney and the girls left Friday morning and arrived in Denver that evening. I flew out on Saturday. Our flight was delayed a little over an hour and all of that delay was us sitting on the plane at the gate. I was flying with Kara, Emma who is 4 and Eli who is 3 mos. They both did amazing and the flight was short. After stopping to get groceries, we headed into the mountains for the drive to Breckenridge. The first 45 miles wasn't bad, but it progressively got worse. I was ready to finally arrive at our house.






We've spent the first day just relaxing and adjusting to the altitude. Mom & Amber were sick all night. They are a little better tonight, but if there isn't drastic improvement by in the morning we'll need to get them some oxygen.

The kids played outside in the snow making snow angels, eating the snow, sledding and making a snowman.




Rodney was the only one to ski today and he met up with our great friends The
Schueller's and had an amazing time.
