Cody's parents, Scott and Toni Whipperman flew down to Chile to visit for a few days. It's still winter here in Chile, so we decided to do some skiing. We went to two different ski resorts on consecutive days: Valle Nevado the first day (with just adults) and Portillo the second day (with the kids). The weather was great at Valle Nevado...perfect spring skiing. Portillo was a bit overcast, so visibility was low, but there were no crowds and the kids really learned a lot and became much better skiiers.

While Toni and Scott were in town, we went out to dinner a couple times and went for some walks around the neighborhood. They were here for only a short time, but we packed it in and made the most of it.
