Road Trip

Last week we went on a little skiing vacation with my parents to Kimberley B.C....although I'm not sure you can really call it a "ski vacation" we didn't end up skiing as much as we hoped, but it was still a nice little get away.  The boys were great little road trippers.  Kimberley is about three hours from Canmore, so we broke up the drive by stopping half way for a dip in the Radium hot springs.  Casey and Liam loved the warm water and had so much fun splashing around.  After the hot springs they slept like babies for the rest of the ride.




About five years ago, Rob and I spent two winters living in the little mountain town of Kimberley, so it was neat to go back and visit our old stomping grounds again.  My parents rented a cozy little ski in/ski out condo that had a sauna and outdoor hot tub...which was just what we needed after a day of skiing (or a day of taking care of two babies). 







The day Rob and I hit the slopes was amazing.  We couldn't have asked for a better day.  The sun was shining and the snow conditions were perfect.  It had been a long time since I last skiied, so it felt good to get out there.  We had a lot of fun.





The trees on the mountain looked so cool, coated in snow...



We worked up an appetite after a few runs....nothing better than an apres ski big bowl of left over spaghetti.  Mmmm my Mom made the best spaghetti...apparently Casey thought so too.


So that was last week...this week it's back to making our own meals, maintaining the mess of this house and walking the dog...and missing those extra helping hands.
