In the hot tub at Keystone the night before ski team

I have been taking Anna to most of the weekends for ski team. We originally thought all four of us would go up to Keystone most weekends but Jude decided this year he really didn’t like skiing any more and so we only did that a couple of times.

Anyway, on Friday night Anna and Marcy drove up to Keystone. Our condo was booked out so we used some points to get a place at Keystone resort right on the lake for Friday night. As you can see they spent some time in the hot tub and pool. Saturday was a cold and miserable day in Keystone so Marcy decided not to ski. And then they had the drive back from hell, taking four hours to get home, a drive that takes an hour and fifteen minutes with no traffic.

Jude and I watched a movie on Friday night, Raiders of the Lost Ark, and then on Saturday we had a free day. We ran some errands, went to Chipotle and played football in the park with some of the neighbor kids. Marcy and Anna finally got home at 8pm on Saturday night.

Today, we went to watch the new movie, A Wrinkle in Time, which we all loved. It was such a great movie. Marcy and Anna had listened to the entire book on Audible in the car yesterday on their very long drive. This afternoon we hung out at home, did the family crossword puzzle and played some soccer at the park.

We had some sad news in the Dahlen family this week. They had to put their beloved dog Buddy down. He was an old black lab that had been part of the family for 15 years. The kids both loved him and were sad to see him go. Jude talked about Buddy quite a bit this weekend.
