Apex

This is the view from our hottub, a couple hours before sundown Friday evening:




Here's Littlest Eclectic on skis:




Here's Miss Eclectic with her racing medal:




A photo of Little Boy Eclectic, Littlest Eclectic and their buddy in the hottub at the other condo:




This is the conditions with which we had to make do for 5 days:



Unbelievable!!! It was sunny every morning, it snowed every night, and we awoke to sun and fresh powder every single day. Our friends' condo was right next door, there was plenty of wine and great food, lots of laughter, Littlest Eclectic is skiing independently on the "big" chair now, and we had the time of our lives.

Thank you all for missing me, or saying so, even if you didn't. It was good to be gone, but it's wonderful to be back. Now, off to check on what you've been up to...

Mad William: It really was! Now for the mountain of laundry... but it was worth it!

JDR: You should totally come with us next year! I could snuggle that JellyBean of yours for days!!!

Nina: The boys in the hottub crack me up, too! It's nice to be home, though.

Zuhn: I'm back!! How come you didn't come down to the condo? I mean, we WERE in Canada, eh? Where were YOU?! ;)

Kat: Vacation is good! I think you should take one -- maybe to the west coast??

Angie: We did have a great time! And we're gonna have a great time NEXT weekend, too!!

Missed you? You mean you were gone?

Welcome home! So glad you had a good time, and that you posted photos! You know how I am about the photos . . .

Wow, what gorgeous scenery. Sounds like everything was perfect. My favorite picture is the first one.

You've been to my blog and have seen what I can do to myself inside my home. This is just one reason I will never strap skinny slats of wood to my feet.

Yay! You're home and you brought pictures!! Wow, E, it sounds like an awesome time. I'm glad. Your kids are cute :-)

Bloggy: Sssshhhhh! No, I just said that to see if anyone would pretend they'd missed me, and then we could laugh about how some people never pay attention.

Shawkey: Well, if I could take photos like you, I'd probably be better about posting them...! It is nice to be home, though -- thanks!!

Squirl: I thought you'd like that moon picture -- I even said that to Mr. Eclectic when I took it! And yeah, after viewing your ankle, I'm not sure I'd be happy with you on skis! Eeeeep!

Lynn: Thanks! It was such fun!! You know what I love? You can't tell from the pictures how many times you had to tell them to clean up their room, or put their mittens in the dryer, or get to bed... all you see (and thus remember) is the cute. It's better that way. ;)

Welcome back, dahlink. Where were you, exactly? It looks a lil like Whistler ...

Wherever it was, I'm glad you had fun and got home safely and rested with stories to tell ...

 
At 6:40 PM, Blogger The Q said...

YAY! You're back. I missed you but I love the photos! Just gorgeous. The one of the boys in the tub made me laugh out loud. I love Littlest Eclectic's silly face and Little Boy Eclectic's stoic expression ;-)

I am *SO* excited for next weekend!! I cannot wait to meet you in real life.

 
At 6:40 PM, Blogger Mr. Bloggerific Himself said...

Never pay...what are we talkin' 'bout again?

 
At 7:00 PM, Blogger eclectic said...

Nilbo: Apex Mountain Resort, about 45 minutes from Penticton, BC. It was exquisite!

Sooze: Yeah, Li'l Boy E has got it rough, lemme tell ya. Just ask him...!

5 days and counting!!!

Bloggy: I dunno. Shit, I thought you knew.
