Destination Crested Butte
We’re in Crested Butte this weekend hanging out with our good friends Kristin and Brian Grimes. We arrived in the early evening, after a four-hour drive with little Eli. He generally does pretty well in the car, although this time he was a bit fussy. Morgan ended up sitting in the back with him, which seemed to help. We think he was just restless and wanted to get the Crested Butte already, darn it. Perhaps he’s getting too old to pass out in the car for three or four hours, and requires a bit more attention.
Today I’m hanging out at the base of the hill while Morgan, Brian, and Kristin enjoy some very warm spring skiing. Eli has been a good kid this morning, but I sometimes wonder if I’m nurturing his outdoor lifestyle or my own. I’d like to think that if he wasn’t happy, he would let us know, and I feel lucky that he seems content hanging out at the base of the mountain. He loves to look at things and seems to be happiest when there’s a frequent change of scenery.
