We took advantage of a small break from school and were able to head up to the mountains. B was able to get away for the weekend and Don and Lisa joined us for a night as well. We didn’t have much planned just a few days of relaxing. I really enjoy the down time playing games. It’s such a wonderful treat.
B had to head back down Sunday night for work, but I was able to work from the mountains and enjoy the Monday and Tuesday the girls had off school.
We played around town and then I spent Tuesday morning picking up the house to head back home. I took a little too long and we left about an hour too late. It started to snow and by the time we made it to Silverthorne I was very uncomfortable with the limited visability. We got a little nervous and turned back. We stayed an extra night and the next morning was all sunshine making it much easier to get home.
A lovely day in Breck
We grabbed lunch at Empire Burger and then wandered around town. It was a beautiful day.
Our lunch spot
The girls requested a crafty afternoon. Annabelle decided to try her hand at canvas painting.
Gwyneth and I gave mosaics a try.
Annabelle did a great job on her painting and left it as a gift for my dad and Melissa.
The mosaics were really fun. Gwyneth and I loved our pieces (after they were cleaned up). We’re eager to try it again and I’m trying to figure out if I can offer it at my studio.
We spent our night playing games and watching movies. Our favorite game these days is Farkle. I’m a risk taker in that game and it never seems to work out for me. The girls beat me every single time.
Tuesday morning started off gorgeous. A bright sunny day….who would have though we would end up snowed in!
We grabbed lunch at Eric’s and then played around town.
And then it started to snow. Just nice fluffy flakes at first. I love snow! I just don’t love driving in it.
This cracks me up! Gwyneth was loving the snow and Annabelle was counting down the days until she moves to California.
Annabelle really hates the snow. She is our beach babe!
Luckily my dad and Melissa didn’t mind us staying another night in Breckenridge. We went back to the house and snuggled up. Sadly I had tossed out all our food because I thought we were heading home. We didn’t have much with us so we braved the weather for dinner at Breckenridge Brewery. The rest of the night we laid low, watching movies, and playing games.
