breck

MeeMee happened to call one day and ask if we had any interest in a little trip to Breck just as I had been looking at and planning just that.  It was the boys last chance to ski, and our last chance to get up there during "Winter."

We headed up on a Thursday so the boys could ski on a less crowded Friday with plans to head home Saturday.  

This was Hayes' first introduction to the "mountain house."

 MeeMee joined us Friday morning because of a late Thursday meeting.

There was so much new snow forecast Saturday that we stayed an extra night.  After a short ski with Ben Friday (he hadn't taken him to a kid-friendly spot,) Ryan ran into a work friend in the lift line.  Wade is one of a handful of people Ryan knows who can ski almost ;) as good as he can and they planned to meet the next morning.

Getting home Saturday would have proven nearly impossible so it was a great choice to stay.

Ryan claimed it was the best powder day of his life.  He had already claimed this once this season so I was sure to qualify, but there was no doubt this was his, "Best ski day EVER."  There is a link here of a little video he made.

Luke taught Hayes how to hide in the shower when we start cooking breakfast in case the sensitive smoke alarm goes off. Hayes kept bopping in and out and was very confused.

We got home Sunday to lots of shoveling and wishing the relaxation of Grand Lodge didn't fade so quickly.  Ryan got a season pass for next year and we all vowed to make better use of the day use options MeeMee's home away from home so nicely provides.
