Mountains

Andy's parents arrived on Saturday afternoon and we left on Sunday to head up to Snowmass. We were much in need of a vacation and were looking forward to the week off. We got a great deal at the Viceroy, a new resort at the base of the mountain. When we checked in they upgraded us to a 2 bedroom, which was great because Avery & Ryan got their own and also they let Avery and Ryan each pick out a pair of sunglasses!

The weather was much nicer on Tuesday and headed straight to the park after breakfast.
Then some pool time. Avery and Ryan loved their floats and we basically had the pool to ourselves!

We did a walk up to Snowmass Mall and had a great view down. We also checked out the new Base Village, which is quite nice. Andy and I got out for a date night, while the grandparents babysat. We had a great meal at Gisella's in Aspen.
We headed back to the park after a great breakfast in the hotel.
Ryan looks like he is ready for the track team. He is one happy guy when he just runs and runs!
