Spring Break 2015, part I

For spring break 2015, we returned the the scene of Spring Break 2012, Breckenridge!

This time we shared the cabin with our tablemates from the Mane Event 2014--T (her husband, S stayed home to put a new floor and walls in their laundry room), her boys, Z and M and C and R and their boys, I, M, and X.  Grandude also joined us for some fun skiing and to watch The Boy compete in a snowboard competition.  All together that meant two ten year old  boys, three eight year olds, and a three year old...and The Girl (thirteen).

While Mr. IM took the kids to school, I took Liberty to the kennel and loaded the car.  I left a little room for the kids.  Do you think we packed enough food and supplies for five days?  He, he...  Mr IM was joining us later after working a few more hours so he put the ski equipment in his car to bring up.

I picked up the house a little bit, so that our cat sitter wouldn't be too traumatized by the mess we left and hit the road....

 After picking up the kids, T and I headed to Breck.  The kids got to eat sandwiches in the car, which thye loved....RC and their kids decided to come up after X finished school for the day (The "big" kids all got out at 11:30 because it was a teacher work day or something and T and I took the day off from work) We arrived a couple hours before check-in, but decided to take our chances and see if we could get in the house.  Our code didn't work, so while waiting for the rental company to call back with the right one, the kids played in the snow and we worked on clearing off the steps (look at all that snow!!!)

 The kids had a great time climbing on the snow banks and playing in the snow.  The piles were taller than the cars.  It started snowing a little, so we were glad to be at our destination.

Later in the afternoon Mr IM joined us for a few minutes (he was not amused at waiting in the  backseat of the car) and we got our code to go in...ahhhh....

 After some unpacking and settling in, we found a beverage for Mr IM and after the rest of our group arrived, settled in for some Rumicube while the kids watched cable tv and giggled.
