Ski trip!

Last week we took our (mostly) annual family ski trip to Colorado. This year was special because it was Lincoln's first year on skis and in ski school. The trip was great with good weather, good snow. Somehow we also survived nearly 24 hours in the car together.

Our family narrowly escaped the flu and the sickness that's been traveling around town, but our niece Madeline wasn't so lucky. Tracy and Joni needed a vacation from their vacation as they didn't get much sleep.

Lincoln enjoyed skiing, and he survived a day of ski school - but he did have matted, sweaty helmet hair and was ready to go home when we picked him up. His most memorable moment on skis was when get got away from my Mom on the bunny hill and nearly plowed into a girl on a snowboard. Mom had to run after him (in ski boots), dive, and knock him down to prevent the collision. We got a good laugh out of it, and I caught the aftermath on film.


Guy isn't so fond of the cold, but we got him out of the condo for a couple of days to hang out with us on the slopes. He spent a lot of time watching Lincoln ski - one day sitting on a bench (below) and the next day in a sled. Getting a little time in the snow coupled with watching Despicable Me about 100 times kept Guy entertained.
