February, Already?!

And just like that, with a blink of an eye, January is over.  With our unseasonably warm temperatures and lack of snow, I can't say we have been skiing the time away.  Emma and Abby have definitely gotten out the most, though, with their weekly ski lessons.

So let's go back to mid-January, where I last left off...

Some of our staff had a TGIF at our local "Escape Room" and it was so much fun!  With about a minute left, we got out!  It's so nice to interact with friends and co-workers outside of the school setting.

We love to take advantage of the free city bus system, too!

Andy and I had a date day during the first weekend of the Sundance Film Festival.  We had a 9 a.m. film called Don't Worry, He Won't Get Far On Foot.  It's a dramatic film about the cartoonist John Callahan.

It's always fun to listen to the producers, directors, etc... speak.  This film got its start from an idea from Robin Williams and, unfortunately, he never got to see it become a reality.

Then we spent the rest of the day on the slopes.  Luckily, we had just gotten a big snowfall the night before so it was great skiing.

We had been having problems with our refrigerator and our dishwasher was not getting our dishes clean so it was time to replace them both.  

Ta-da!

The girls (and Andy) are at the climbing gym about 2-3 times/week.  Emma even started taking a climbing class once/week.  She is so strong!

This little one is like a monkey out there!

For Christmas, I gave Andy a book of 12 pre-planned dates, one for each month.  We were supposed to go cross-country skiing for our February date but our lack of snow allowed us to go for a nice hike, instead.

This trail is usually groomed 2x during the week because of all of the snow we usually have at this time.
