Steamboat Springs

We spent this past weekend in beautiful Colorado with our good friends Jason and Kelli. We flew into Denver on Thursday evening and due to delays didn't get to their house until 10pm. Easton had only napped 1 hour that day and was just fighting sleep from about 7pm on. Friday we packed up the civic with 4 adults, 1 baby and a maltipooh and headed for Steamboat Springs.
A friend of Kelli's let us stay in their condo that overlooked the ski hill. The weather was just beautiful! We hit a local pizza place for dinner that evening called BeauJo's.
Saturday morning the boys woke up bright and early to be the first ones on the ski lifts. Kelli, Easton and I stayed back due to Kelli's little bun in the oven. We went to downtown Steamboat and went into the fun shops.
Sunday brought an enjoyable afternoon of snowshoeing. I have never been before and we all just had a blast. We made it about 5 miles and EAston was just in heaven! We didn't hear a peep from him the whole time. He was just as cute as can be all bundled up with his new shades!
Monday we packed the car up and headed back to Denver. But not before a stop to a great little locally owned bike shop called "Orange Peel". Yes, the rumors are true, Easton got his first bike! It should be here today. He just loved it and kept going back to it so we broke down and got him a Strider. We were so sad to have to go back home :( We caught an early flight back to Phoenix on Tuesday morning. Easton slept the whole flight!
We always have such a wonderful time when we visit with the Ericksons and this trip really set in our minds that we would love to make the move to Denver someday. Oh, the ski school at Steamboat starts their ski classes at age 2 1/2! Watch out.......next year Easton will be hitting the slopes.
