A Snowy Spring Break

We just returned from Park City, Utah, where we enjoyed yet another cold and snowy spring break.  This was our fifth spring break of skiing, and people always look at us like we're crazy when we pack up after a long winter and head out west for more cold weather.  Our kiddos are like their dad and love to ski, which means I've had to learn to love it too, and we can usually find some other insane folks to join us.  This year we enjoyed the company of our good friends, the "Weis Boys", and while the beach may sound like the best place for some people, this group had a ball in the snow.  Here's a look at some of the good times that were had...

There was a 13th birthday...

Happy birthday dear Sarah, happy birthday to you!

... some snowy days 

Laura and I met the boys for lunch one day when I didn't ski

Laura and Mark

.... great ski conditions

All the kids race down the mountain

... some chilly chair lift rides

Getting the kids safely on the lift wasn't as hard as you would think!

... snowy afternoons in the pool and hottub (the reward for all that work on the mountain!)

Partying it up in the pool

Whoo-hoo!  The sun's out!

The dads all chill after keeping up with the kids all day

... complete and total exhaustion

I walked into the bedroom one night to find John passed out!

... tricks at the terrain park

John tricks it out on a table top

... a big fun group of friends

The Youngs, Weises and part of the Buckley family

... a fun sleigh ride up the mountain

... pulled by some spectacular horses

... to enjoy a cozy dinner in a warm cabin

It was hard to leave today...a foot of snow had fallen overnight, and several more feet were on the way.  But spring has sprung, and it was time for these snowbirds to fly south.  Another fantastic spring break is in the history books!
