Alex was more than thrilled to reach the condo...let's face it, we all were! :) Travis has some VERY generous friends that he knows through work that very graciously let us stay at their condo. It was perfect! In a prime spot right at the bottom of the mountain and right next to the walmart and grocery store! We spent that first afternoon checking out the precious town of Steamboat, getting groceries, and getting settled in the condo. Grabbed some delicious local pizza for dinner and we were all ready for bed.
Alex was even more excited about the condo when he realized that their little boy had the coolest lego motorcycles and matchbox cars! It was his dream come true and I don't know what we would have done with out them the whole time we were there!
The next day we headed up the mountain on the gondola. It was perfect weather (a little overcast) and just gorgeous. Apparently everyone else sleeps in so we had the place to ourselves too!
We wanted to do the simple hike around the top of the mountain. Made it to the first lookout, about 5 min in- can still see the ski house, I am getting the camera out, and Alex slips on the big rocks into the gravel and skins his knee pretty bad. crying hysterically. Are you kidding me?
Back to the ski house for first aid and then we were back on track...although he was crying and couldn't walk so I put him on my shoulders...tough with a full backpack on too.
Finally, he was distracted enough to walk again but I had already switched with Travis and was carrying Ellie in the pack...I am so tough :)
super excited about making and throwing a snowball. It was a main goal of his on this trip.
After naps we headed to the park on the river
ellie needed a photo shoot too...I could eat her up
