Let it Snow!

We are back from our ski trip! We spent 6 days in Steamboat Springs, CO. We had a blast. We went with Greg's parents. Mama G stayed in the condo with the boys and cooked for us. She made the whole trip possible. Papa G, Greg and I spent our days on the slopes. Greg and I were so excited to get back on our snowboards after 3 years. Papa G is a smokin' skier. Steamboat is a huge mountain with numerous lifts and more runs than we could do in 4 days. The snow was perfect- a more than four foot base and great powder from an earlier snow storm.
As you can see, Noah LOVED the snow. He built a snowman (obviously made by Texans that didn't know what they were doing), made snow angels, threw snow at his parents, went sledding (down some pretty big hills), rode the Gondola, rode on the snowboard with dad and drank several gallons of Mama G's homemade hot chocolate.
Greg and are now recovering from our first vacation with kids. It was a lot of work, but totally worth it to see how much fun Noah had and to get to do one of our most favorite sports. We can't wait to get Noah into ski school in the next couple of years. There are not many pictures of Wyatt on this trip because he HATED the cold weather and snow. We walked into the ski town the first night for dinner and he was miserable. So he stayed in the condo the whole trip with just a few little 'outings' onto the balcony. That was enough CO for him. Don't worry- he enjoyed all the attention he got from his grandparents.
We have some great video of us on the slopes and of Noah sledding. Check back to see if I was able to figure out how to post them from here.
