Ruidoso Winter Vacation!

Nana and her youngest sweeties. This was on our balconony and the ski mountain is behind them, it just doesn't show up with on this one.
Going up ......

At the top ......



All ready to go ........





What a ride !!!!




We had a fantastic family get-away to Ruidoso to do some skiing with Davids family. The weather was perfect, not too cold or windy, and the snow was the best for Ski Apache in years. While we went skiing during the day, Nana stayed with Avery and Cayla. Aves was very upset to learn that Kaegen and Kreek were skiing and she was not. So Dave and I planned time to take her tubing and to play in some snow (since there wasn't any at the cabin) and she loved it. She was giggly the entire time we were gathering our tubes and making our way up the hill. Even with others squealing as they passed us, she wasn't afraid one bit. Plus the sweet old man that gave us our tickets had a full grey beard with a curly ended mustache and claimed he was Santas cousin and would report that she was a sweet girl to the Jolly o' man. Once we were at the top of the hill getting ready to go down on our first run she asked, "Can I scream?!" And so she did the whole way down. It was so great to see such a sweet smile on that girl all morning long. On the way back to the cabin she said, "I want to go to sleep now,"...needless to say, she slept 3 hours that afternoon. Ash took several pictures of us on the mountain with her camera so when I get those I will post more.

This is Aves going down a tube shoot "by ALL myself" as she would put it. And yes, she screamed all the way down .... so much fun!

Thanks to the James' for a fabulous winter vacation!
