Keystone

We spent a long weakend in Keystone with Grandmom and Grandpa at the end of January. There was a hot tub in the condo that everyone was very excited to try out as soon as we got there...

But mommy was a party-pooper and deemed it too hot for kiddos, so we all got out pretty quickly.

Fortunately, there were lots of other distractions!

Sunday Sabine went to ski school all day, some of us skied in the morning, but then came in in time to watch the Broncos win the play-offs!

We jokingly asked Sabine at dinner if she wanted to go night skiing after a full day of ski school. To everyone's amazement, she was emphatic that yes, she wanted to do just that. So up we went, she skied down the whole mountain, and then went straight to bed and slept for almost 12 hours for the first time in her life.

The next day, Sabine decided she wanted to ski with us, so she took us over to see Tornado Alley, where she had been practicing her turns with her ski school on the bunny hill.

She seemed to be handling it just fine, so we set off for the big mountain, and the snow fort at the top.

It was revisited many times!

After seeing everyone come in and out of the condo enough times, Aspen was pretty ready to get in on the action.

So we got her out!

We also got out for some ice skating on the lake.

Sabine even found a little walker for Aspen to hold onto, and she had a good time following Sabine around on her own. "MY DO IT!"

After Aspen fell, Sabine fell, and if you listen closely, you can barely make out Aspen calling, "I'm coming, Wa-Bean! I'm coming!"

There was also some down time at the condo, and we had fun working on puzzles.

On our last night, we all went out to a nice dinner.

A very sweet way to end a really incredible vacation. Thank you, Grandmom and Grandpa!
