January

 We had our first snow of the season at the lake on January 3rd. 

And then on the 6th, we had our first snow at home. 

However, we didn't stick around to play in the snow- we had to catch our flight to warm and sunny Florida that afternoon! We spent a long weekend visiting Mark and Cathy at their new house in Cape Coral and had the best time. Their home is simply stunning and I felt like we were staying at a resort! They are the best hosts and we can't wait to go back!

As soon as we got to their house, the boys dropped their bags and jumped in the hot tub!

The next morning we enjoyed the pool. I can't imagine waking up to this view everyday!

Later we took a boat ride to an island to have lunch and soak up the sunshine. Luke loved having Piper, their puppy, tag along.

Caleb took his drone and got some amazing shots.

And, the boys again ended their day in the hot tub!

The next day we took a boat ride down to Fort Myers and ended up having lunch down there. It was another sunny and hot day- perfect for January!

On the way back up we stopped and fished for a bit.

Again, we ended our day with a beautiful sunset and some pool and hot tub time!

While we were away, Creed took a quick trip to Aspen to get in some ski runs. He had beautiful weather and excellent conditions!

To our surprise, we have enjoyed winter at the lake almost as much as the summer! 

January 16th was another snow day at the lake!

And, we woke up on the 17th to even more snow! 

The following weekend we got even MORE snow. :) 

They took turns surfing the sled down the driveway, which is why Creed was coming back up limping!

The following day the snow had melted so Lacey and I walked the trail down to the water. It was such a beautiful day.

Creed and Caleb took the bass boat out and Caleb got some cool drone shots as they were running.
