Whistler weekend

We're smiling because you told us to!

Our January ended with a trip to Whistler with friends, Tony, Alex, and Marina, sans Eli (who spent a long weekend with Grandma and Grandpa). I will have fond memories of this trip for a long time.

Fresh powder, even at 2 p.m.? YES PLEASE!!!

But we’ll be laughing about the calamities that could have ruined the trip for a long time as well. It’s not like we were there for a real trip or anything that could be called a vacation. We left on a Friday and returned on a Sunday. But between Tony’s passport expiration and emergency replacement, no tuna fish for the tuna casserole, and the telemark ski boots left at home in the basement while the skis arrived safely with us, we had a lot of obstacles to overcome. And we did :) We had a marvelous time. Tony got a new passport out of the deal, we ate smoked salmon casserole which was even more yummy than tuna casserole, and we found the only store in Whistler that rents telemark ski boots.

Tony made a bet that, after a day of skiing, we'd all be in bed by 9:45. Time stamp: 9:15.

Cheers! Apres ski!

Surprise! The Otmans and the Kaisers find each other in Whistler!

Ann, Marc, and their kids Lucio and Nico are our "Whistler" friends cuz that's the only place we've ever seen them!


Eli does love his hats!

Eli has a thing for hats… Always has. As you can see from this small sampling:

Wearing Dad's Sailing Cap

With one of many knit caps!

This counts right?

Look, I am wearing another knit cap.

All Hat, No Cattle

Can't have enough!

This last was was given to Eli by Rand and Geraldine. Thanks you two!
