It's been sometime since I've updated this blog. Our holiday season was busy and crazy, but lots of fun too. We enjoyed spending time with family and friends who are like family. We even spent Thanksgiving at home for the first time in our marriage! It was a wonderful time with lots of memories.
After the insanity of the holidays, we enjoyed a long weekend in the San Juan Mountains! It was the perfect way to wind down from Christmas and New Years and begin 2013. This was our third stay at the "Addie S" on Red Mountain Pass, and it was a fantastic trip!
While there wasn't much new snow, it was still pretty darn good. The avalanche conditions were pretty stable which is always a plus. The temperatures were chilly, but we had beautiful bluebird skies the whole time. We enjoyed some skiing across the street from the cabin and also on US Basin. Backcountry skiing on Red Mountains Pass is such a treat. We love being able to escape the crowds and enjoy the Colorado mountains in the wintertime.
Our little guy had a good time as well. Aside from the 7 1/2 hour trip anyway. He loved the time with Nan and Pops, playing in the snow, swimming at the Ouray hot springs and sledding down the big hill. Were we all blessed by my uncle and mom's cooking. Aaron especially loved Uncle Steve's pancakes and bacon!
We are very thankful for family that makes these trips possible. It's wonderful to be a part of a family that loves spending time together in the mountains!
