We recently celebrated our 10th anniversary by taking a short family vacation in the mountains. The weather had been beautiful when we booked the trip, but Murphy's Law kicked in, and our anniversary held some of the worst weather we have seen this autumn. Not to be deterred, we headed out Thursday afternoon on a much-needed get-away.
Upon arriving at the hotel, we checked in, and the kids wasted no time in donning their suits for a dip in the indoor pool. It was a great place for young kids because the water was not deep, and the two slides offered some excitement.

The kids have been getting more comfortable in the water, and AJ actually decided to do more than doggy-paddle. I was so proud of him for putting his face in the water to kick his legs and move his arms. This is all with no swimming lessons.

Of course, the slides were the most exciting part of the pool, so the kids spent most of their time on those.

| Hi, Mom! |
It was so nice and warm in the pool room, that it was almost possible to forget what the weather outside was like.

After swimming, we headed out to dinner. The snow had mostly stopped by this time, and the restaurant was cozy. We all enjoyed our meal in comfort.
It was not the most romantic evening, but I was with some of the people I love most in this world. That is enough to make me happy.
