Adventures

We spent the weekend at Antero Hot Springs Cabins with my friends Dara and Mike and their posse from Summit County. It was an interesting mix of the newly dating, married without children, parents of a 9 month old, second-timers with a 6-week-old and a 2-year old, and us slightly more seasoned parents. I somehow managed to not take a single photo, so I'm hoping to get some in the days to come from other folks. We got to ski for a day while everyone took turns with the kids. We soaked in the hot springs at night, played trivial pursuits (genius edition), took turns cooking meals in (non-spouse) teams, lit the fire in the morning to keep the cabin warm and found ways to entertain the children without electronics. Sawyer kept calling it "our new home," and I'm pretty sure he didn't ever want to come back. The kids were really into helping pack and unpack, and were actually somewhat useful in the process. They really seem to get the concept of having a weekend adventure, and I'm looking forward to many more to come.

Now Sawyer's biggest question is "Is the Easter Bunny going to sneak into my room tonight?" He can't wait. In the coming weeks we have a visit from Justin and a visit from Mimi and Pop Pop on the books.
