through some amazing work connection, aaron's dad has been able to organize a relatively free family weekend in whistler for the past three years. it is one of my favorite weekends of the year. think cozy condo, fireplace, hot tub, games, junk food, watching "the office," seinfeld and saturday night live, lots of people giving noah attention, awesome cross-country skiing, sledding, gawking at prices in the whistler village shops, more junk food, more games, and best of all (according to noah), zillions of construction vehicles hard at work all along the sea-to-sky highway!
sunday afternoon aaron, irene, grandpa, noah and i spent a few hours cross-country skiing-- definitely for me the highlight of the trip. we did some really fun trails with ups and downs, and the sun was out and it was warm and lovely. noah chilled in his little sled, with a snowball throwing break mid-trip and a snooze at the end.
we also got to take a free ride up the blackcomb ski gondola, quite high up the mountain. it was snowy and overcast, so we couldn't see the lay of the land, but the ride itself was quite the thrill, especially for noah.
and on the way home, we stopped to visit bandstra transport, and noah got to "drive" a forklift and ride around the yard in a big bandstra truck. he was in vehicle heaven. grandpa definitely has the keys to this little boy's heart!more pictures from the weekend here.
