Day 6: Keystone, Snow & Grandma Sue

My grandma had been visiting with friends in different parts of Colorado for the last 2 weeks and since she was so close to us we decided to take the hour and a half drive up to Keystone to visit her and to also let Ethan & Star play in the snow alittle; because the weather had been so hot lately it had melting quite a bit of the snow that we were hoping to play in but Grandma Sue did a little research and found a small mountain side that she had seen other kids sledding down so that was out planned destination. The drive up was breathe taking again because its just so beautiful driving thru the mountains and seeing all of the amazing scenery. Once we got to Grandma's condo where she was staying Ethan touched the snow for the first time and said burrrrr lol we went upstairs met her friend Jerry Kelly who owned the condo and saw Pete, my grandma's husband. We then changed our clothes into snow boots and snow suits and hit the road.
Ethan absolutely loved the snow but I think Star loved it even more lol Ethan wanted to go down the mountain with his sled and wanted to crash, we tried to get Grandma Sue to catch him but he made sure he would lean a different way so she couldn't catch him. He's such a silly boy. We threw snow balls, and made snow angels and Star dug a burrow to bury herself in like a little Eskimo lol It was hilarious. I almost fell a few times and Shauna decided she wanted to tackle the mountain with just tennis shoes on, she almost fell too lol The snow was great, I just wish it had been thicker in some areas and more of it.

After playing in the snow we went back to the condo changed clothes and went to Ruby Tuesdays for lunch with grandma. Star slept in the car while we ate and we made sure our seat was next to the window to see her and all 4 windows were down she was a happy camper comfy in there. We really did enjoy the time with my grandma and it had been such a long time since we seen her that it was a special treat just to visit.
