Weekend in Whistler

We had a fun-filled 4-day weekend in Whistler as a family the 2nd week of February. Fearing the 4 1/2 hour drive with a high maintenance toddler, we decided to give in 3 months early and turn Avery's car seat around. We are all loving it! Avery's "oooh's" kept us smiling and she finally gets to watch movies! We had 2 very successful drives!
Dinner in the village the first night, it was delicious!
Saturday Andy and I went skiing on Blackcomb and Avery endured her very first day in daycare! The 2 ladies watching the kids were very sweet and took good care of our little princess. We were totally amazed we didn't get a page to come pick her up. Skiing conditions left a bit to be desired, Whistler is low on snow and visibility was very poor. I thank my lucky stars to have such a patient, understanding and encouraging ski coach for a husband, he is truly amazing on the mountain!

Avery was so happy to see us at the end of the day she was dancing and running around like a mad woman.To warm up, we all hit the hot tub at the condos.
Mommy forgot to pack Avery's swim diapers and we ended up with a diaper explosion!Our friends Ambreen, Raceen and their sweet baby Sienna came into town that night in time for a late dinner. The boys hit the mountain Sunday and had a great time. I was glad Andy had someone at his advanced level to ski with.And us girls hit the village for some shopping and playing!Ambreen and Raceen cooked us a delicious dinner Sunday night and the girls played. Avery was sweet with Sienna; very concerned with her runny nose, but still has some only child tenancies to work on. ;)
We enjoyed the village a little longer before we headed back home on Monday and lucked out with a beautiful day!Whistler is an amazing place. Only 4 1/2 hours away, but with all the Australian employees, and European visitors makes you feel half a world away. Thanks for more great memories Whistler, we can't wait to come back!
