Colorado

The family had a great time visiting the "boo-boo" grandparents in Colorado. Dex "loved" seeing snow for the first time. He didn't cry very much and was able to fall asleep repeatedly outside on a sled with snow pelting his face, so we count that as a complete and total victory. And, Sloane "loved" skiing -- and by that I mean she did NOT love it. She kept the skis on for about 5 seconds while screaming that her boots hurt and eventually let her daddy take her on the magic carpet on the bunny slopes on the sled. But, it was a great trip and, though exhausted and fighting colds, the kids and the rest of us had a great time. Next time, we'll prepare the kids mentally to be excited about skiing and I think they will both want to do it. They are already on board with sledding, so that will be fun too. Now mommy just has to work on the darn elevation sickness. Any recommendations out there?
