Vail, Our Last Day....

Our last day in Vail, was perfect!! We woke up, skipped the bunny slopes and headed straight to the tip top of the mountain.

Vail slopes are geared more toward experienced skiers, so we had to travel many lifts (4 total) to get to mountain with greens. But the mountain we found was perfect for the boys! It was full of short greens, with an easy access bathroom right at the lift! All the slopes led to the same lift, so we were able to ski pretty much non-stop. Well, non-stop between the skis falling off, whining and poles being thrown- let's not pretend the mountains magically turned my children into angles, lol!!

The boys were able to keep up with us for the most part, and Micah and I were really wishing we had another day to ski with them.

First time on the gondola lift...







After skiing, we turned all our gear in and headed back up the mountain to do a little afternoon tubing. It was fast and so fun!!











We ended our last day with ice cream and milkshakes...





We woke up early the next morning and headed to the Denver airport to fly home! What a wonderful little vacation we had. Micah and I have the very best time taking the boys on little adventures and I think it's safe to say, the boys have found as much love for the mountains as we have!!

What a wonderful Spring Break vacation! The mountains are just beautiful. I laughed out loud when I read the part about the pole throwing...heck I wanted to throw everything down the mountain in Red River! Now the tubing would be something I might be successful at doing. Low to the ground...not much to break!! Thank you so much for sharing this trip...the pictures and your narrative brings it to life!! Great way to end the last day...milkshakes & ice cream...doesn't get any better😋 Have a great day and I love you all so much.!
