Over MLK weekend, we packed up the car & headed to Pagosa Springs, Colorado with Nick's friend from work.

The town was so cute! But, no time for shopping - this was an outdoor weekend.

The trip was JUST what the doctor ordered. The winter blues had set in & I needed to see the pretty white snow against the gorgeous blue skies.

Skiing was the primary focus of the weekend with the twins & Jonas taking their first magic carpet ride.

The kids all adapted quickly!

Joy, Zach & I stayed close to the ski lessons.

Jonas picked up stopping really quickly.

Charlie worked really hard too (the kids always mimic the instructors' arms!).

And, his feet finally caught up!

On day 1, Ella was in a lesson too, but after the first lift ride, she was out of my line of sight all morning.

The boys caught up with us at lunchtime & saw the end of the lesson.

We had some uber-hungry kids. Thank goodness for cell phone games!

After lunch, the kids did one lift ride & bunny hill run with Nick & we called it a day.
