Steamboat

About a month ago, my people took me to my cousins' house to stay for a week. The kids came and stayed a couple of days too and then left to visit with their other grandparents for a few days. It turns out my people went on a vacation. They were itching to go on a ski trip and decided to celebrate their 10 year anniversary early and fly to Steamboat Springs, CO.

It sounds like they had a great time. They skied for 4 days, had their first experience snowshoeing, ate out way too much, slept in, and were able to sit on a couch without zombie babies coming after them. (Whenever my people sit next to each other on the couch at home, the kids will undoubtedly stop whatever they're doing and head straight for the couch while making noise. My people now lovingly refer to them as zombie babies whenever this happens.)

While they missed the kiddos like crazy and the friends they've skied with in the past, it was a nice break and escape from reality, just the two of them. They have now been back for about 3 weeks and are settled back into their routines. The kids had a great time with the grandparents and I enjoyed my time with my cousins. I get chicken on my food! And one side of a sleep number bed to sleep on at night! It's glorious.

Here are pictures from Steamboat, if you're interested. As usual, click on the photo to see the whole album.
