Tubing, Skiing a nod Great Food

We are having an amazing family vacation here in Whistler!  There is something for everyone!  Yesterday the troops took the day off from skiing so muscles could recover.  There were some massages involved in the recuperation process and some hot tub soakings!  Yesterday morning was dedicated to tubing.  Gaby, Trey and Grant hit the tube runs and had a lot of fun.  There is a lot of fresh powder today since it snowed all day yesterday.  

The sun is out and they are on the slopes!  KC is hanging with a nanny (since I can't lift anything over 10 lbs) while I had a leisurely breakfast enjoying some of the best Eggs Benedict I've ever had.  

Tonight involves a sleigh ride and dinner at the Chateau --yummy fondue!

 

After yesterday's snowfall, many of the trees look like someone decorated them with giant cotton balls!

Winter Wonderland in Whistler. Day 2



Well,  once again, we've landed in a wonderful place for a family vacation ---Whistler, BC in Canada at the Four Seasons resort.  While it's a VERY long trip from Florida  to get here, it's definitely worth it!  We had a couple of minor glitches the day we left --an hour wait for plane deicing in Minneapolis and a jetway that couldn't line up with the plane door upon arrival in Vancouver.  Minor annoyances when we finally got in to our 3 bedroom residence at Four Seasons in Whistler.

Yesterday consisted of recovery from arriving at 2:30 am (nap for KC and me πŸ˜‰) and everyone else getting fitted with their ski equipment.  The best part of the day was the dog sled ride that Gaby, Trey, Grant and Annette went on!  Super fun!  The photos (taken by Grant) speak for themselves....

Today, KC was dropped off at Whistler Kids school while the rest of the gang went for their first ski lessons. Adventures for everyone!




Some shots inside our 3 bedroom residence!




Trey is mushing the sled!


Making new friends wherever she goes!

Loving this new adventure! She even got a chance to help drive the sled!

The fearless mushers!

Princess of the hill!  


Seems there was a litter of six puppies born at dog sled camp!  For those who didn't know, Gaby's 18 year old dog, Bandit, passed away 2 days before we left for this trip.  


Posing for Uncle Grant!
