Last day of spring break! Loulou took everyone to her pool. The weather was warm, but the pool was not! Barrow made it in only briefly!

The Wiliams headed back to Texas, with plans to meet us again at Sky Ranch in July.

It was a great week!

Two days before we left, Cate brought a list to mom describing all of the activities that would take place at the cabin when we were not skiing. The list included 3 things to purchase and take to the cabin: a snowball maker, a snow block maker, and snow paint. These items weren't normally stocked at your local Southern New Mexico Wal-Mart! Thanks to amazon.com, we overnighted the items, and Cate was able to coordinate fun activities for the group! The snowball maker was the biggest hit.

There was a daily match of monopoly, several family games, and a few exciting movies viewed during our time at the cabin.

Cate enjoyed playing fetch with Ruby- who was very well trained.

At the top, we could view Wheeler peak!

...rested along the way!

We hiked almost 4 miles!

Time to snowshoe!

Just hanging out and relaxing!

We had brunch at Michael's Kitchen, and enjoyed walking around Taos.

An amazing view as always!

We stopped at the Rio Grande Gorge.

On our way to Taos, we spotted some Rocky Mountain Big Horn Sheep!

They even rode the lift together - getting on and off by themselves!

Cate and Trinity enjoyed skiing together.

A view from the top of the mountain!

She took a break for lunch and was ready to hit the slopes again!

Cate was a natural on the slopes! She tackled some blue and black slopes, and told her dad that she thought the black was really a blue!

Time to ski....

Cate started a game of monopoly as soon as we arrived.

Spring Break! We met the Williams in Red River. Cate quickly made friends with Trinity.

Barrow learned some magic tricks as a requirement for his Cub Scout Bear Badge. He used his sisters to help him perform his magic.

Dad started braiding Cate's hair for school!

During a play date, Cate and Vera created a show, where the cats performed tricks. Mapache showed off his gymnastics skills.
