Suncadia

We took off on Tuesday morning for a Mommies and Kids’ retreat to Suncadia.  Sommer found a great house to rent so 5 mommies and 10 kids all went over the mountains and through the woods for a little getaway.  The house was big and beautiful with enough beds for all 15 of us.  The kids had a great time playing outside despite the lack of snow. 

On our way up we stopped at the summit to let Emma ski a little with Matt and Brady.  After five runs on the bunny hill and magic carpet she was done and I managed to get the boots and skis on Madi for about 30 seconds.  So if you asked her, she tried skiing. I am sure I was quite the sight, I had one 2.5 year old in the backpack carrier and the other on skis.  It actually worked out very well. And Emma is very proud of herself for skiing again.   P1000076 Proof Madi was on skis.

P1000078 On the phone with Nana, telling her that she tried skiing. She was much happier in the backpack.

I wish we had tried this earlier in the season.  The snow is awful now and the season is coming to an end very quickly.  It makes me excited for next winter. 

After playing in the snow we headed to the house,_Swiftwater_Front

unloaded the cars and got settled in.  IMG_6281

Wednesday we checked out the little park near the house, took long naps and managed to successfully enjoy dinner with 10 kids at a pizza joint in Roslyn.

I am sad we didn’t get a picture of all the kids together.

We love Suncadia too. Our boys'(2 & 5 years old) favorite winter activities are the tubing hill and the swim fitness center.

We stay at Sugar Cookie Cabin because it is loaded with kids friendly toys, games, books and you can walk to the swim fitness center. It's only big enough for two families though.
