We joined Amy, Tom, and Bella for a weekend up in Aspen. Amy's parent's live in Basalt and were so amazingly hospitable to us. We had originally planned to ski, but I'm struggling with a sinus infection so we opted for a nice, relaxing, low key mountain weekend.
The girls were thrilled to find the largest selection of American Girl doll clothes I have ever seen. They played with their dolls, put on a dance show for us, and even managed to find Grammy's makeup in a drawer (big ooooops! I can't take these girls anywhere).
We took the girls ice skating and I couldn't believe how quickly Bella and Gwyneth jumped on the ice and just took off. Annabelle was really apprehensive and then once she got over her fear she was a natural. She was literally skipping around the ice. I can't wait to cut her hair like Dorothy Hamill's and move to Colorado Springs so she can begin intense training....oh wait, that may be a bit overzealous.
Amy's parents offered to watch all the girls that evening so we could go out in Aspen. We went to an Irish Pub for dinner which was absolutely not kid-friendly which is my absolute favorite thing to do when the girls are not with us. It feels like we're getting away with something. We hit a club after dinner and within seconds realized that we are far too old for such things so we settled for a drink and some chips and salsa at a low key Mexican restaurant. That's more like it.
We had an absolutely fabulous weekend and we are so thankful for such wonderful friends. We couldn't have asked for more - such kindness, hospitality and fun. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!
