We went to Durango during the boy's midwinter break. It was one of those crazy, spur of the moment trips. Amazingly, Trevor had enough frequent flier miles from his China trips to fly us all out first class. The boys loved having a row all to themselves and we loved the flight attendents who took care of them the whole trip. We had a great weekend with Ron and Jan before they had to go to the Builder's convention. They let us use their condo while they were gone (Thank you!). It was the perfect set up for skiing with kids. The ski resort had a great daycare that we put Halle in a few mornings. We skied with the boys in the morning and then Trevor would hit it hard by himself in the afternoon while the kids and I relaxed. We had some really nice times with Aunt Bernie and Uncle Donald also. Thank you for the delicious meals, Aunt Bernie!
Grandma Jan looking especially cute while doing the dishes
Halle must have thought Grandpa Ron looked lonely so she gave him her dog to sleep with.
There was so much snow!
Connor and Dillon
Dillon hanging out at Hoody's

Halle Aspen ready to go to daycare
Another beautiful Colorado day
Trevor's extreem patience skiing with me all these years has finally paid off. I can now confidently ski blues, which means he doesn't have to walk with his snowboard!
My little boys are super skiers! Dillon skied blacks and deep powder with Trevor. He also skied with Quinn and Holly. Connor skied down everything we did without the harness this year. Now if he would just quit chewing on his glove and look up, I could really relax.
It snowed 2 feet one day. We had a great time playing in it.

Halle really wanted to ski! We will probably start her next year with the harness.
On our way to the airport we stopped to see my cousin Robb and his wife, Dawn. We finally were able to meet their sweet little guy!
