Jeremy's birthday ended up being the same week that we had a trip up to Keystone planned. This has been a great season for skiing for our kids: Daxton is officially off-leash and Cambrie has learned how to snow board! Not needing to haul kids up and down the mountain has changed everything. The first day while Cambrie and Daxton were refining their skills, we hung out on the bunny hill for the first part of the day while Jeremy took the more experienced kids on some harder hills. By the end of the trip we had all four kids following us through the trees. Being able to go on the same runs together as a family is a game changer. McKenzie and Kelton still have the upper hand, but it won't take too long before that won't be the case.
During one of the runs, Kelton really wanted to check out the terrain park. Keystone has moved the kids park to be in the same area as the big terrain park. It meant that my kids had to really commit to going off the jumps without fear of looking foolish in front of the big, bad teenagers. Kelton and McKenzie flew off like it was nothing. The other two skied around out of the way, but I'm sure the other skiers were wondering what on earth a five-year-old was doing at the terrain park! I'm curious to see how Kelton grows into his skills. He loves the park...I wonder how many trips to the ER we're going to have if he continues to love the park.
Because of new restrictions we can't eat lunch in the lodge, which means that it is a sack lunch in the car kind of trip. We've figured out most of the kinks by now and it's nice and cozy while we eat.
We only spent one night up at the resort, but we used that night to open Jeremy's presents, eat some pie, and watch the old Jumanji together as a family. We really love staying up at the resort, and it was just icing on the cake that it happened to be Jeremy's birthday celebration.
Happy birthday to the best dad and husband ever!
