New Years in Vermont/ MLK weekend in Vermont

We went up to Vermont to spend New Years with Jason's brother Matt and his family.  Matt and Jodi are so nice and easy to be around.  Our kids get along great and we always have fun together.  Everyone skied three days while we were there and I spent time shopping and at the gym since I'm not cleared to ski yet because of my hip.  It was strange to send them off for the day and not be going along but it was relaxing.  I got to workout and it didn't matter how long I took which was nice.  Jason and the girls had a great time skiing and at night we all hung out together.

Matt, Jodi, Jason and I took one night for ourselves and headed out to a kid free dinner.  Keely was great and watched everyone while we were enjoying a fantastic meal together.

We headed back up to Vermont for MLK weekend.  Jason's co-worker owns a house in Vermont and he let us borrow it for the weekend.  We invited our friends to come up for the weekend and we all had a fantastic time.  The house was beautiful and very secluded.  We went with our friend Ally and Jerry and their three kids, Paigie (Ali's friend), Colby and Tucker.
Jason skied with the girls and Ally and Jerry joined them for most of the day.  Our friends kid hit ski school for the day and had a great time.  I spent the day going for a walk and doing an at home workout.  I managed to find a small shop to buy a cappucino which was great!  I met up with everyone at the mountain at the end of the day and we all headed back to the house to hang out.  The kids played and once the kids were fed and in bed the adults got a chance to talk and play board games.  It was a lot of fun to travel with friends and our parenting styles meshed really well which was great.  The second day noone went to the mountain.  Instead we went for a walk in the woods right from the house.  The owners must have had trails cut in the woods because there were many clear trails to follow.  It was a lot of fun and we hope to get back up to use the house again.
