Steamboat in February

We spent the last weekend in February in Steamboat with the Caplingers, it was a crazy busy house with the 4 little ones, and not much sleep was to be had our first night, but we all had a good time. Caleb got to strap on a pair of skis for the first time and join Anna on the slopes, he did great, much better than I anticipated! He loved it and if you ask him he likes to talk about making pizza slices and french fries with the skis and how he skis backwards. I posted a video below, please forgive me, I did not realize that the camera wouldn't reorient the video, so it is best viewed lying down on your side! I also got to strap on a pair of skis after a 4 year hiatus, Jen and I had a mom's afternoon on the mountain and had a great time.

On the soccer front if anyone is still dying to know, Doug's team won the game against the in town rivals and thus headed for Las Vegas for the International Championship, as it turns out so did the in town rival due to another district not sending their team. Both the local teams were out after pool play and did not advance, so indoor soccer is done....for now. Outdoor soccer has once again resumed, and after the first game it is clear to me that if I take the kids with me to the game I will not see any of the game due to a playground in proximity.

Me on the slopes at the end of a beautiful day, thanks Jen for the fun time and the only photo I have of me on skis
