The Hills for our 5th Anniversary Weekend was a Blast!

We cooked pizza for the kids for dinner on Friday. Then they stayed at our chalet with Crystal so we could go out for a nice romantic dinner at The 1871 Lodge.

Sean and I getting ready to head out for Dinner at The 1871 Lodge.

Dinner was excellent. We both chose the special of the day. It was a bacon wrapped filet minon served with roasted potatos and root vegetables. It also included ceaser salad and multi-grain bread. Sean enjoyed a glass of Sleaman's Honey Brown and I enjoyed a couple of ceasers. They were really good, served with a pickled asparagus. They brought our steaks out on a rock and we finished cooing them to our liking. It was pretty neat because I've never done that before. We finished off with a piece of strawberry-rhubarb pie. It was a lovely dinner and we enjoyed having some alone time and reflecting on the past 5 years.

We all went tubing and had a blast.

We walked down to the teepee to see if the pond was good for skating on. We didn't end of skating. Too bad it would've been a lot of fun. But we were just too darn busy. We quite enjoyed soaking in the hot tub and swimming in the pool. We went tubing in the dark and had a great time. We pretty much had the hill to ourselves and it is way more slippery at night.

It was a fantastic way to spend our 5th anniversary and pre- celebrate Judy's 50th b-day. I'm so glad Rick & Judy were able to come out for the day.
A note to anyone who might want to stay at The Hills- don't pick Jan 8th weekend because they have the Dog Sled races there, which is good, but the dogs bark and yelp during the night and make it very hard to sleep!
