Pagosa Springs, CO
Over President's Day weekend, we went up to Pagosa Springs for a ski weekend. We met our friends, the Amsdens for the long weekend and rented a cabin together. It was so fun to get the kids together again and especially for Sydney to learn how to ski with her dear friend Audrey. The two of them rocked ski school together and were the cutest little ski bunnies on the hill.
Amy and I stayed at the cabin with Ethan, Bennett and Madison. The boys played really well together and during nap time, the moms read or slept or a combination of both, and basically it was lovely.
While we were there, we celebrated Bennett's 3rd birthday! He shows us he's 3 by holding down two of his fingers with his opposite hand. :) And for awhile, he was in denial and kept saying he was only 2! He helped make his birthday cake and was constantly on the counter that day "looking" at his cake and sneaking finger-swipes of frosting. For his birthday, he got a giant board book about trucks, which he asked me to read over and over. He also got two new cars--Sally and McQueen, which he loves, and a McQueen and Mater t-shirt. Can you see a theme in his interests, currently? Basically anything with wheels!
On the way home from church, we spotted a bald eagle perched on the ice of this lake. We pulled over to the side of the road and watched until he flew away.
The cabin we rented had this amazing room downstairs with 4 built-in queen sized bunk beds! 8 of the 13 kids slept here.
This is what cooking breakfast for 13 kids looks like.
What a super fun weekend!
