date night!

Jason and I took a night to ourselves in celebration of the school year and the summer vacation!

I can now positively confirm that there is no better place to spend a summer afternoon than slopeside in Beaver Creek with a bottle of wine and some yummy sushi rolls...

as we watched the horse trips come in off the mountain and the clouds roll past the green mountainside, we got ready for the main event:

the Indigo Girls!!!!!

It was awesome - great food, beautiful scenery and lovely weather, incredible music, even a dip in the hot tub before bed!

So here is a shot of me in my luxurious hotel robe with the morning mountains in view and my complimentary Starbucks coffee in hand:

(the best part was not having to hear anyone repeat "momma,momma,momma" all morning!)

So just what did the little adventurers do while we were out living the dream?

Well, suffice it to say they were not put out one bit by our absence...

in fact, they weren't even too thrilled we came back!

Must have been all the fun they had at their friends' house... and really who would blame them? There were dogs and cats and bunnies and chickens and a pony and a slide and a huge yard to run around in.

So what did they do? Apparently all squished into the bathtub!!!!

Thank You Ann for keeping the kiddos - they had a blast!
