Crested Butte Here We Come!

Going to Crested Butte for a little white Christmas action sounded like a good idea a few weeks ago. Who would have ever thought that we would end up having a beautiful white Christmas of our own at home? Record breaking in fact! The kids were not open to staying at home and playing in our snow. Something about having no snowboards or ski lifts. So, at 5:30am we loaded in the car. First stop was to drop Rascal at the Umberhams and pick up Blake. Falling in the street while trying to get back in the car was just a bonus :-( Next on to pick up Chad and Chelsea. Finally, off for Crested Butte.

Kids all slept until we stopped for breakfast just south of Wichita at about 8:00. After checking some different websites and road conditions we decided to go west on Highway 54 to Pueblo and then on to Crested Butte.

Roads in Edmond were terrible but improved a lot just 5 miles north of town. When we reached the Stillwater exit, roads were greatly improved. Right now there is very little, if anything on the roads but the wind is very windy. Might slow us down a little.
