We arrived!

We made it! Crested Butte looked so pretty last night! The Christmas lights on the little houses and cabins and all the snow was perfect. Took a while to get to the condo check-in. It's on Gothic Road. Surprise! There are 2 Gothic Roads here. Great. Arrived at the condo a little after 8 and it is litterally right on the slope. Was supposed to have a slope balcony but the balcony is really on the side. The lift is right outside the door so I am sure it will work anyway. We got everthing in , which was not easy because we are on the 4 th level and all stairs, and then the girls went sledding. It was 1 degree. Little chilly. Tried to go into town to the grocery store. Closed! So back to the condo, up the stairs, and finally ready for bed. Yes!!! Woke up at about 8 this morning. My magic phone says it is -11 now. Awesome! Ready for the sun to come over the mountain and heat things up. Kids are getting dressed to go pick up gear and eat. Then, it's off to the slopes. Should be fun to watch the boys try to teach Blake to snowboard. He may be begging for a real instructor by noon. Pray for safety and pray for warmth ;-)

  1. Glad you all made it safely :) How nice of the boys to take their time this morning to teach Blake. We encouraged him to take 1/2 day this morning...then join them in the afternoon. Hopefully this will work, and they will all be able to go and have fun this afternoon. Keep us posted on his progress.....Pictures too!! :) Face plants included!! :) Been praying for safety and fun....didn't think about warmth...girl..you're in Creste Butte...it's just not going to be warm!
