The first couple of days were spent settling in, exploring the house we rented and the nearby parks, checking out the town, and skiing/snowboarding (for Matt, Grandad, and Uncle Jon). The cousins absolutely loved the house we stayed in. The multi-levels proved a great climbing feat for the stair-lovers and the giant floor pillow/couch was a huge hit for jumping on. The boys spent many hours playing trains, reading books, and chasing each other around. Ezra was loved on quite a bit, but spent his nap times on the couch to prevent being trampled by his cousins - much safer there!
Our vacation adventure began at 3:30 AM loading the boys into the car to drive to the airport. With no direct flights to the tiny airport at Steamboat Springs we had to fly from Dayton to Atlanta and then to Steamboat Springs, CO. I admit it, I was feeling pretty nervous about how this all was going to go. Micah had flown a few times, but always direct flights. And of course this was all new with Ezra. We had only bought two tickets, so it was likely we were going to be holding both boys. My plan was to talk to the desk before each flight and see if we could wrangle an extra seat, but there were certainly no guarantees there. Fortunately, Delta proved to be an excellent company to work with, and were were able to get an extra seat on both flights out. That was a huge relief because we were able to install Micah's car seat and he took a nap in there. Both boys were absolute rock stars for the flights (90 minutes and 4 hours). Ezra slept and ate, and Micah played and slept. Micah LOVED watching all the planes and airport vehicles do their thing whenever we were sitting at the airport, so that was easy entertainment for the layover. We made it to Steamboat Springs just as Ezra had had about enough and was starting to fuss.

This was a great trip! Really enjoyed the great family time we all shared. However we did miss our other son Alex.
