We started the trip off with an amazing breakfast at Cornerstone Bakery. They had "play dough" for the kids to enjoy while we waited for our meals. So neat!
Then off to our first adventure! We went back to the tubing park and one major change this year is that the twins LOVED it! Last time they were not tall enough to ride the big hills and they were too scared to go on the little kids ones by themselves. Not this year! We ruled that park this year!
We played for over two hours on the tubes and we all had a blast! Gamaw, D and I also rotated out staying with the kids and went on the big big big hills. Those were awesome but we mostly enjoyed the kids excitement!
It was a bonus day so instead of our park passes only being good for 3 hours, they were good all day. And it was so quiet there since it was a weekday. We never waited more than 2 minutes in line.
When we decided it was time for a snack and a break, we went into town and went to the community built playground that we loved so much last time.
Then everybody was ready to head back for more tubing. It was even better because the temps were cooler and the snow had started to get slick which made the runs even faster!
Our final run down we decided to make one big train and ride all 5 of us down together! And it was the BEST run of the day! We went super fast and the kids screamed and laughed the whole way down! Mallory exclaimed "that was so so awesome guys!" :)
We headed back to the cabin for some rest and to clean up for dinner. Of course we went back to my favorite Mexican food place and enjoyed their delicious margaritas!
Saturday we woke up and headed to the mountain for a ski day. We got the kids in a little ski school day and D and his Mom did a little skiing too. (I don't enjoy it so I observed the kids and had a Bloody Mary by the fire in the lodge! I also do NOT enjoy the drive up the mountain. The scenery is beautiful, but for someone who gets car sick, holy cow. Luckily I made it without a hint of nausea but it took a lot of focus and "mind over matter"!)
Mason was great and enjoyed ski school. Mallory started off great but an hour into their two hour lesson she started falling a lot and got frustrated. They were great with her and just worked around her. The nice instructor said by the end she was riding up the rope pull and laughing and smiling again. When we picked them up they were having a snowball fight outside and Mal had to show Gamaw where they got to ski. She told Gamaw, "it was amaaazing!" Goofy girl. Mason said he had fun but he was pretty casual with his review of the day. Which is typical Mason, haha. The instructor said he is pretty natural on the skis and will probably be a skier. :)

D and Gamaw ready to go!
Before we left we used our lift tickets to ride the gondola up the mountain and check out the scenery!
Back at the condo we rested and Gamaw took the kids on a hike through the little village we stayed in.
One great thing about Gamaw coming along is she volunteers to keep the monkeys so we can have a date night. So D and I went to the casino, ate a ton at the buffet, and played slot machines for a while. It was nice to relax and have some adult time while we were on our trip!
One last hike on Sunday with Daddy while Mommy and Gamaw got packed!
My parents had recommended the Log Cabin Restaurant for breakfast so we hit that up on the way out Sunday. It was amazing. My meal was great but D got a toasted pecan waffle that I loved also. There wasn't a bad bite of food on the table!
Then we headed back to reality. It was a quick trip, but we made plenty of great memories and I'm looking forward to going back one day.
