Tigger's First Ski Trip

All - so sorry for the weeks of non-posting. Papa Tigger and I have been traveling, then I lost the camera cable to download pics from the camera. But we're back in DC and the cable is no longer MIA, so we're back in the saddle!

Our most recent trip was to Breckenridge, CO for some great snow and skiing. Papa Tigger and I try to go skiing every year, and we wanted to keep up the tradition with Tigger. It was big family vacation. G-Ma T, G-Pa T, Aunt Lorelei, Uncle Michael and cousin Cassidy joined us and we all had fun in the snow. Thanks to G-Ma and G-Pa T's help with Tigger, I was able to enjoy some long awaited skiing. It was great!

We arrived in Denver and loaded up the car. Thank goodness Uncle Michael and Aunt Lorelei rented a minivan!


Once in Breckenridge, we settled into the house. It had a great view of the mountain:



The next day, we hit the slopes. Here's Papa Tigger and me:



G-Pa T:


Uncle Michael:


One day it was really cold and snowing, as you can see from G-Pa T's beard!


We even got Tigger out to play in the snow. And don't worry grandparent police, Tigger was laying in the snow for about 5 seconds and was toasty warm the whole time in his snowsuit (notice the Tigger on his snowsuit?).




After a hard day of skiing, Papa Tigger and I enjoyed some much needed hot tub time. Check out the great view of the mountain behind us!


Tigger even got to ride on the gondola. Here's G-Ma T bringing him to the base of the mountain so I could feed him. Yes, she looks a little freaked out by the height!:)




You may wonder what was going on behind those sunglasses.......


Cousin Cassidy had a lot of fun in the snow too. First, she did some flat sledding with Mommy.



Then, she did sledding down the hill with Daddy:



Cassidy also played with Mommy, squirting colored water in the snow (what a neat idea!):


Not only did Tigger enjoy the snow, he spent some time with his Aunt Lorelei and cousin Cassidy.





He's not so happy in this picture:

You can almost see the future little boy in this picture:


Finally, on the last night we celebrated Papa Tigger's birthday. Happy birthday honey!!


Thanks to everyone for making it a fun birthday/skiing trip!
