After work, I also got to enjoy a little R&R…
It’s our last night in Steamboat. It’s been an amazing week spending time skiing on the beautiful mountain and to be hosted by this lovely couple. We’ll miss you so much!
Judy’s been putting leftover food right in front of their house for this fox come and eat every night and I got to see this sneaky little pretty animal last night! So cute!
We took a hot chocolate break 
with Mr. Ken.
Then we went down on two more blacks – Cyclon and Upper Valley trails.
We met with kids after ski school and spent the last afternoon in Steamboat skiing together.
What an incredible week it has been! Kids have improved so much. Chloe’s skiing comfortably on blues and Shane’s tried a half pipe and likes to find little jumps while skiing various trails.
Andrew and kids coming home.
Chloe’s done. Done.
A delicious meal was waiting for us at the lodge. Oh you are so good to us!
They are serious hockey fans. Look how enthusiastically they are watching the game.
Today we are done with lessons and we are exploring new trails. 3 out of 4 of these trails are done!
Skiing with the residents. 🙂
Happy birthday Ken! Glad we could be part of your special day.
This condo complex has a Monday cocktail hours by the pool. Judy ordered kids their first Shirley Temple.
Chloe’s not sure what to think of it at first but she definitely enjoyed being with adults.
Judy’s been cooking delicious meals every night for everyone so I thought I would help out and make beef stew for dinner tonight.
Followed by her delicious cookies.
Chloe’s catching up on her homework.
Great company, great wine, great food…
We saw a vertical rainbow and one of the locals called it sun dogs.
Swimming in the pool!
Nice hot tubs… we’ll be coming here a lot…
The ski rental company came to the lodge with all the rental equipment and gear. Love it.
Wife, Mother, jewelry designer &
graphic designer /Creative Director, I am HaeWon Cadence Ryu. This is a glimpse into my life’s blessings, passion and inspiration.
This blog came to fruition after I began motherhood; I wanted to be able to capture every millestone of my two beautiful children - Chloe & Shane as they journey through their early years. Since the launch of my online jewelry site, cadencelee.com, I’ve come face-to-face with having to juggle multiple roles. As a result, I have decided to feature some of my designs and inspiration alongside postings of my precious family. For me, this is the perfect medium of work-life balance.
