Spring Break in Breckenridge

We kept the family tradition alive by stopping at Beau Jo's for some honey crust pizza on the way to Breck.
 We had beautiful weather!  A bit warm some days, but the snow was still pretty good! We got dumped on mid week so we got a morning of powder skiing in.
 We rented a house that was a 10 min. walk into town and to the slopes.  There was also a park and ice skating within a half mile.  Perfect for the kiddos!

 Flat Stanley came to Breck!

 We took the gondola to the top of the mountain so that we could ride the mountain coaster.  Maddie was so funny on the gondola - she loved it!  She was standing much of the trip.  She also went super fast on the coaster - this girl loves a thrill.  (Not sure how I feel about that!)

Dane was much more cautious.  He rode the coaster, but we had to go slow (I controlled the speed) and was very concerned about the doors on the gondola closing too soon.  He would say "hurry" and wanted to be last out of the gondola.  He takes good care of his family.


 Nico shared his googles with Dane - super cool!
 The hot tub felt so great after a day of skiing!  The kids loved going in it too!  They loved playing with water bottles in it and also playing a few games of telephone.  They liked running out of it to eat potato chips as well!
 This was spotted from the hot tub.  The kids named him Foxy Woe and we only saw him once although we looked for him often.
 Heading off to ski!
 Getting our equipment!  We stored at the bottom of the mountain which was super nice and convenient.
 We all skied together on our last day and had a quick break for lunch.
 Riding the chair up together.  Can't wait to go back!

It was so fun having Papo and Grandma and Grandpa Welke with us.  Grandma Welke took care of Emmie while we had our fun.  We are so thankful to have such awesome parents/grandparents!
