Beaver Creek



After Christmas we went to Beaver Creek, CO with Alan and Linda to go skiing, relax, and enjoy the snow. And of course I didn't ski. I took advantage of the spa and got a pedicure and a pre-natal massage, which by the way was out of this world. That was one of the best massages that I have ever had! The first day we got there we drove in some very bad weather. I think Blaine and Alan almost had heart attacks because the roads were so bad. I'm just glad that Hayden slept through the whole thing. We put Hayden in ski school the third day that we were there and it was working out fine until he got sick. He was just getting over an ear infection and dealing with the altitude. So he didn't get to finish. We asked him if he wanted to do it the next day and he told us that he wants to wait till he's a little bit bigger to go skiing. Which by the way was so hilarious when he told us that. And he still tells us that when he sees someone skiing on T.V. Blaine had a blast skiing. I wish I was up there with him. He covered the whole mountain since he was skiing by himself. He would leave by 8:30 and be back to the condo by 2. One day he took the camera up with him to get some good pictures from the mountain. There are some big homes in a couple of the pictures that are in an area called Bachelor's Gulch. These homes run from $5-$20 million or more. We all went to Vail one day to shop, walk around, and eat at Pepi's Restaurant. On New Year's Eve we went to Beaver Creek Village to watch the Glow Worm Ski Down and the Torchlight Parade and then following that we watched the fireworks. Then we went to one of the bars/restaurants where they had a live D.J. and had a blast. All that Hayden wanted to do was dance. When it was time for us to leave we had to pull him off the dance floor. The day we left we decided to leave early because there was a bad snow storm coming in and we are glad we did. When we woke up that morning it wasn't snowing but by the time we checked out and got in our cars there were huge snowflakes coming down. So once again we had to drive in some bad weather. Hayden chilled the entire time...Thank God for DVD's! We had a blast and can't wait to go back. Thank you Linda and Alan for such a wonderful trip. Check out our pictures and the two videos of Hayden playing in the snow.
