Sunshine, snow, and mountains

The boys had breaks from school this week. A had the entire week off while C had three days off.

We returned to Suncadia where we spent two nights last year in February and again this year.

We love the view from the "Great Room" aka the lobby of the Lodge.

On Monday morning we headed for the indoor pool. The boys like the water slides. I stick with the hot tub and the steam room. For lunch we took a short drive to Cle Elum and saved money getting lunch at Safeway and Burger King.

The afternoon was spent on A's favourite spot - the coal hill.

A climbed to the top twice. They tried throwing the aerobie (like a frisbee but has a hole in the middle)  from the top. Later they did some sledding.

I spent the time reading by the fireside.

We had supper at Swiftwater Cellars.

Both evenings, we watched the Winter Olympics on TV.

On Tuesday morning I had hoped to go cross country skiing (like A and I did last year) BUT the snow was pretty icy. We braved the cold (28 degrees) and went for a long walk instead. The boys haven't seen frozen ponds before so we had them experience a little bit of standing on some ice.

We checked out of our room and had lunch in Roslyn at the Red Bird Cafe. J had a Mardi Gras themed plate that included Muffalata.

We returned home in time for A to go to soccer conditioning at school.
