2014 Schweitzer Spring Break

Little Shredder

We may not have done a lot of runs today, but the ones we did were FUN! 

A quick video of T-man on the terrain park.

Let it Snow

A much different day on the mountain today with snow ALL day. It was heavy and wet and that meant that T-man and I enjoyed a day in the lodge having coffee and then watching "Wizard of Oz" in the movie theater. D-man skied hard with Gramma and Marshall. 

Marshall joined T-man and I at the end of the day and we enjoyed a few runs on the bunny slope and T-man enjoyed riding the lift all by himself and taking a couple runs on the terrain park. 

Now we're watching baskeball, enjoying happy hour and video games. Relaxing vacation at its best. 

No lines!

Now blue skies 

Julia's Yard Sale

A bluebird day on the mountain which was a pleasant surprise given the weather forecast. After a horrible fall by me on some very icy terrain in the morning (aka Julia's yard sale), we found some great runs and enjoyed a nice day if skiing. And it's always good to wrap up a day of skiing in the hot tub with a cold beverage.

Happy hour! 

College Days

Hi there,
Julia Peavy just shared an Instagram photo with you:

March Madness

Not only is this week the beginning of spring and the start of the NCAA basketball tourney, it is the beginning of the Peavy taxi service as baseball, soccer, and reading buddies all kicked into full gear. And the start time of these activities? 4:30 and 5:00. That definitely makes for some March Madness in the Peavy household. 

We embraced the crazy today after soccer practice for T-man and a baseball scrimmage for D-man by heading to Buffalo Wild Wings to watch some basketball and get some wings for dinner. A good way to kick of spring and all the madness it will bring. 

How to Play Pitch

For a writing project at school, D-man documented the rules of pitch. As his teacher put it, playing cards is really a lost art. It's fun to see him learning and playing cards. 

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Pi Day

Well, it is Pi day. Don't want to disappoint the kids. A good way to kick off the weekend. Maybe one day I'll make one. Oh, who am I kidding? 

Spring has Sprung?

Yesterday, baseball practice started for D-man, T-man and I read books on the back deck, and the boys found flowers in the backyard. Of course, it snowed today. Spring in Colorado.

2 Epic Days

A day of amazing skiing in Vail on a bluebird day followed by another gorgeous day skiing in Beaver Creek. Truly 2 epic days of skiing. The icing on the cake? Only about a 10 minute delay on the drive home. How lucky we are to enjoy a weekend together outside.

A New Record

Last night, we headed up to the mountains. It's a 2.5 hour drive to our friends' house. In January, it took us 5 hours. Last night, it took us almost 6. 6 hours. 150 miles. The silver lining? Boys were great. We enjoyed a couple cocktails and great conversation wen we arrived. The pass is closed right (no skiers getting up right now) and it is supposed to be an "epic day" of skiing. 

Trees in Vail last night 

Foggy here this morning, but it's sunny in Vail. 

Quick Trip

We enjoyed a quick visit from Nana and Pop this weekend. It snowed and it was pretty cold (still warmer than Nebraska though) but we kept entertained with board games, card games and shopping.

We also enjoyed a nice evening out for dinner (followed by Sweet Cow ice cream of course) on Saturday night.  It was great to not have to be running around and just be able to hang out together. 

Thanks for coming Nana and Pop!

13 Lucky Years

We hired a sitter on Monday night and headed out to an Italian place close to our house to celebrate our 13th wedding anniversary. It was happy hour all night and we enjoyed some speciality cocktails, vino, and a variety of small plates to share - including some delicious cheese from the mozzarella bar. 

It's a great to get out on a weeknight and even more of a treat to celebrate 13 years of marriage. How lucky we are.

Prosciutto and Mozzarella. Yum!
