The Silver Lining

We threw caution to the wind and instead of trying to head someplace warm during spring break, or stay in town and get soggy in the never-ending northwest April rain, we decided to embrace the last bit of winter. We drove to Silver Star Mountain in B.C. for what looked like it could be an incredible end to the fabulous winter of skiing we've been able to enjoy. And it didn't disappoint.

Parks and Evie waiting for tickets outside the village.
A six seater chair. SO AWESOME. It is officially the first time the parents, kids and grandparents could all ride together.
Enjoying the ride.

Evie proving she can keep up.

Always trying to head out of bounds. Always.


The happy boy.
The happy girl.

The cute grandparents.

One of the great things about this place is we have a hot tub on our deck for our very own. And because my kids are big fans of any kind of warm pools of water, we have been enjoying this thing morning, noon and night. We hopped in after a long day of skiing with a little glass of wine and sippy cups of juice and relaxed for a while. Five minutes in, amidst the sippy cups clinking (CHEERS! they would scream), water splashing everywhere, kids climbing all over us and me trying to decide if my chardonnay tasted more like chlorine and Jeremy looks over at me and says "This is so not what it used to be like". Before we had kids, that is. And despite the lack of relaxation in the hot tub, two kids who skied for 5 hours with no help (except lots of marshmallow treats) makes it all worth it. CHEERS!
