We had a couple of special guests this week at our home. Our brother-in-law, Nathan, was out in Denver on business this week so Marcy’s sister, Mandy, came out to join him. They stayed at our house on Thursday night and then went up to the mountains for a long weekend.

On Saturday night Anna and I drove up to Keystone for our first ski day of the season. Anna had a birthday party Saturday afternoon and we headed up right after that. Sunday was a cold but mostly sunny day in Keystone and we had a great day on the slopes. It really wasn’t that crowded for a Sunday and Anna wanted to go non-stop. We did about 12 runs and were still done by 2:15pm; more accurately, my knees were done so we called it a day.

That evening Mandy and Nathan came over to our place in Keystone for dinner and what was the last night of their trip. We had takeout pizza before heading back down the mountain.

Meanwhile in Denver today Marcy and Jude had a quiet day. They played a little soccer at the park, and Jude played baseball with the neighbors. Jude discovered a new favorite movie, Pants on Fire. And then in the afternoon, Jude went to a birthday party for a new school friend.
