It started off exceptionally well, with a new pair of butterfly wings from Uncle Eric and Aunt Diana.
We went ice skating on Keystone lake the first night we were there, and I think that was one of the highlights for Sabine. She currently thinks she is going to be an ice skater when she grows up. (We had fun watching the National Championships earlier this month, she's very taken with the sport in general.)
Sabine even skated a little by herself.
And a requisite picture in the tunnel under the highway with Grandpa. The echo was another highlight.
We went hot tubbing several times, Sabine LOVED "cooking" herself.
And Aunt Diana was a good sport and sang many, MANY verses of "Little Bunny Foo-Foo." (They are doing their own signs for "goon" in the picture below.)
The real highlight for us was, of course, the skiing. Sabine spent a full day in ski school. Six and a half hours was way too much, she was exhausted, but overall I think it went well, and she got some great practice in.
Most shockingly, Sabine was not the only one to go to ski school this time!
We got to go out for a nice dinner with the family to celebrate.
And we all worked on puzzles that evening.
And we hit the lake for a final round of ice skating before heading back home on Saturday.
There was also a lunch stop at a family favorite, the Buffalo Bar, in Idaho Springs, on the way back down the mountain.
It was wonderful to be all together, and we are so grateful that everyone is safe and sound and happy. Miss Aunt Diana and Uncle Eric already!
