Not Exactly Roughing It...

That is the Beaver Creek motto....and I personally love it.We kicked off vacation with some mountain side cocktails before our first day of skiing.

Matthew started off the vacation trying to learn to snowboard, but quickly realized he needed to stick with skiing.Libby was a natural on skis
they both loved every minute of it!!

Dan and I at the summit of Beaver Creek, a balmy -10 degreeslunch/cocktail break on Beaver Creek Mountain with my brother in law Jerry and his girlfriend Kari who came over for 3 days from Denver.
Jerry and I "chillin" on the mountain top ice couch

We met up with some of our STL friends...
we ate,
we drank,
we bowled.

I got to spend some time with my brother in law Jerry (and his girlfriend Kari)and we had a chance to go out for an adult only dinner at "Kelly Liken" from Top Chef.

Our last day, no ski school for the kids, they were ready to take on the mountain....

Our last night we met up with our friends again for a s'mores roast.
Finally, a montage of photos we took in the village.....hands down, one of our best trips!!

    Looks like so much fun and SO fun to meet up with STL people while you're there! I love that most of stl does spring breaks in the same places. There was a fb status the other day that said I forgot that naples is just a southern stl. The kids look adorable and you got some great pictures!!!

    Looks like you guys had an absolute blast! WOW
    You have such a lovely family, I can't wait till I eventually start mine :)
    I am following you now as your blog looks lovely. I love the pic of your 3 kids in bed...awww how adorable! I can't believe you are a french teacher, I am trying to do the Rosetta Stone French and I feel like its kinda hard...hopefully it will get better.

    Hope you can stop by,
    xoxo
