Stay-cation station

This week, we embarked on a stay-cation extrava-gation that lived up to our expectations. Here was our to do list during our week off (in order of importance):

1. Sleep
2. Watch movies
3. Nap
4. Eat great food
5. Ski
6. Home projects

And we did just that. As a bonus, we had Lily, Rose, and Rachel pop in for short visits. Here are some photos to illustrate.

Bill held down the finances while we vacationed.


Rose and Lily orchestrating a home cooked dinner.


Home cooked butternut squash soup, ravioli, and kale.


Birthday dinner out. Went to Cafe Molisse and listened to live jazz.


Bowling birthday girls.


Yes, that "A" is my score of 153. I would like to think that this was not just birthday luck.


One of my birthday gifts, a new faucet with a spray nozzle. It's the small things in life like a sink sprayer that make a difference.


Rachel came into town and we hiked up to "the living room" a lookout point with man made sofas and coffee tables made with rocks. But we didn't follow the correct path, so it took us about 2 hours longer than expected.




Made it to the living room. Enjoying the view of the haze.

I dobn't think I will be checking your blog again until skiing season is over. I almost dropped my lap top when I saw Grant hanging off the side of a mountain and held my breath while I thought I was watching Anna tumble down the bumps before Ali told me it wasn't her!!!!! I'm sure your mom lost years from her life this evening.
I still love you guys!

it looks like you had the perfect birthday week! The food looked amazing and you definitely have to show me your trick to bowling. I'm much better at wii bowling than real-life bowling :) I miss you!

Sherry - how funny. You know Grant, he loves to hang off cliffs! I promise to refrain from scary pictures from here on out.
