For Christmas 2009 we decided to take the boys on a little adventure to Suncadia Resort, just over the mountain pass about 90 minutes away. They have a WinterFest each year with plenty of fun activities all at the resort, which is ideal since one of us needed to be with Luke who still sleeps away much of the day and was recovering from an ear infection.
We started off the weekend with a breakfast at the Inn with Santa and Mrs. Claus. Then we spent the remainder of the day dashing from one fun activity to another, including snow tubing, Gingerbread House making (house already built and with lights -- all Colin had to do was decorate), Sandy Candy Making, Bear Factory making (Colin chose to make Frosty the snowman and decked him out in a Santa Suit), lots of eating, story time, and a elf tuck-in visit/bedtime story from one of Santa's elves, named Glitz.
It was nice to get away together and we plan to make this an annual Christmas tradition. Colin was so excited about the trip and kept saying, "I love Suncadia!" over and over.

We went tubing at Suncadia this past weekend and it was awesome. We even got our 5 year old to go down alone and our 2 year old to go down period! Both of which were firsts and feats.
Bummed we missed the other Winterfest stuff - sounded like fun.
Fun! Does Winterfest go on with all those activities throughout the month or just over Christmas? I'd love to try that sometime too.
So fun! Does the Winterfest go on all through December or just over Christmas? I'd love to try it next year.
Carly -- It was tons of fun! There are activities throughout December and I think some on into January. It's so close by and it's such a great place!
