Spring Break 2015!

We were lucky enough to get to spend Spring Break in Colorado with our cousins. The girls are about ready to move out there after all of the fun they had. They loved Griffin, Grace and Grant's new house and especially getting to have a few sleepovers there. They also loved getting their first taste of snow skiing. The weather was so warm it could have been water skiing, but we bundled them up (only for them to strip it all off) and let them try it out for a day or two. We were so proud of Jordan and Peyton for giving it a try. Jordan absolutely loved it and Peyton thought it was ok but is willing to try it again another year. Skiing was a ton of fun, but the most fun was getting to spend 5 days with family! 
It's funny how they all buddy up immediately. Jordan and Griffin were the best of friends the entire trip as were Peyton and Grace….Grant and Lucy had a love - hate relationship :)

So sweet - the view from the condo before ski school (yes that is a pool behind them and yes - they swam in it many times!)

Jordan and Griffin wiped out after a full day in ski school. Notice their coats, gloves and hats are all off - it was warm!

My little skiers!

The whole gang of skiers - watch out - they will be flying past us in no time. 

Sweet Grant hanging with Aunt Cookie





Lucy got to enjoy the slopes a bit too. Don't worry - I did not go down the slopes with her!

Best buds!

Jordan with Coach Josh - he was a great teacher and Jordan loves skiing because of him. 

Daddy taking Jordan down the bunny hill. 

The big girls

Jordan and Griffin were big enough to do a flying trampoline - they were pretty pumped. 
Up, up and AWAY!
The trampoline spectators!



Sweet Lucy on the gondola. She just loves life!

Are they teenagers or 4 year olds? Best buds hanging at the top of the mountain.

What a view! Can't beat it. 

Wow how the family has grown! Enjoying a mountain top dinner.

The kids loved the band at the BBQ on top of the mountain! Peyton dancing with her stick horse.

Bebop and PopPop getting down with the kids

Daddy's famous dip! Lucy takes after her sisters and loved dancing too. 

Sisters - oh wait - that's Mom in the middle. She looks like just one of the girls. 

Jordan and Daddy were determined to win the spoon hanging competition. Jordan beat Daddy!

Just a little hike with Grace. They were hand in hand the entire trip. 

Can't wait until Grant and Lucy are big enough to add to this picture. 

Peyton and Grace have a special place in their heart for Lucy. They kept coming over to play with her (clearly Lucy doesn't reciprocate the feeling).

Lucy loves a good ball. She played with this soccer ball forever. 

The trip was awesome, but the ride home made the feeling last even longer thanks to Daddy the baby whisperer. The ride wasn't this smooth on the way out to Denver. Guess all of the fun wore Lucy out!

Thanks for a great trip BeBop, PopPop, Aunt B and Uncle Josh!
