Vail Family Ski Trip

The boys have been bugging us to go to Vail as a family so one of the last weekends of the ski season, we asked our good friends, Tom and Corine, to stay at their luxurious condo in Vail. It was spring skiing as you can see below.  The sun was melting the snow quickly.
Jonas decided to try out snowboarding for the first time.  
 He was so excited to emulate his daddy! He even wanted to know exactly how to carry his board.
First they took some runs on the magic carpet and then the chair lift. 

 Back at the condo, hot cocoa and lots of water for hydration.  
 That evening, we snuggled up on the couch to watch 'The Wizard of Oz'.  Daddy has been reading the story to them for weeks and finally finished it.  Of course the movie didn't portray what the book told.  I was so impressed on Jonas' memory of the book and how well he knew the plot and all the characters.  He knew more about the story than the movie showed. 
April 8th, 2013-Silas' 3 1/2 birthday!  He has been longing for this day because he knows it's getting closer to go to Legoland!!! Yahoo! So on this day, he decided to try snowboarding with daddy.  It went well but he wanted to get back on skis so he could go fast. Heehee!

 The last night we were there, we walked downtown Vail and came upon this pirate ship playground.  What a fun discovery!


A little Star Wars figurine for a gift.
 We adopted the idea of celebrating half birthdays a few years ago since Jonas' birthday falls so close to Christmas.  So we made half chocolate birthday cake and poured a half a cup of milk to go with it.
 This cake was so easy to make but it looks like it was cut right in half. Thank you Pinterest!
Happy 3 1/2 Birthday Silas!  We love you so much.
