DENVER, COLORADO BABY!!!!

Here we come. Why I decided to learn how to ski at the age of 38,is beyond me, but I'm glad I did. I did great!!!!! I had a lot of help from everyone and I listened in my instructor in the half day class. Everyone was so nice and patient with me. I'm proud of myself for going for it. So, here are some pictures of our adventures. Sorry we couldn't get more, but it is hard to ski and take pictures at the same time...just as Scott! I do realize though that I have these pictures out of sequence in the blog. I realized that after I had already published the pictures of Rachel and her breaking her arm. Oh well............One more thing, I know that there are not that many pictures of Scott, and I'm sorry about that but he always has the camera. It's kinda like when we drive to Ohio or anywhere really, he never let's me drive!!!!!!!!! So enjoy the pictures.

We had a beautiful day on Thursday and Scott got off work at noon, so we decided to go to Red Rock, Colorado to go hiking. Just Beautiful!!!! It was so warm out and yet there was snow.... amazing. We also went hiking at a place near the Lockheed Site.

Scott and I hiking at Red Rock, Colorado. Almost 70 degrees
outside, but there is snow on these rocks!????? Just to let everyone know, we were traveling with a furry little bear named Browny. Rachel thought we might get lonely, so she let us take him along to keep us company and to see Colorado since she couldn't. :) Awwwwww -----So you will see him pop up every now and then on our trip.

We have ARRIVED!--- at Silverthorn, Colorado. This is the place
were we will be staying and it is so cool. This is Carl taking a picture of someone in the doorway??, Dan cooking breakfast, the hot tub, and Erica, Dan
and me making the grocery list, well I was really standing there eating a Biscotti and saying "ya, that sounds good"! :) I mean a girl has to eat, right??

Just messin with the animals......I think that is a badger that Brian is snuggling with!!!

Wow, what a beautiful day to ski!!!! We are at Breckenridge Ski Resort and had the best day skiing. Perfect weather, and it is my second day skiing and loving it. SWEET!.......Browny decided to come along today to enjoy the beautiful mountains behind me. That is Brian in the other picture. He is our friend and he works with Scott. He was the master mind of the logistics of the trip. He knew all the resorts that we went to inside and out and was in charge of which ones we went to first and so on......He is crazy on the slopes and a wonderful host and guide. He was hanging with Scott and I for awhile(for my benefit).....I know he was anxious to get up to the top of the mountain to rip in one of the Bowls on the slopes. He wanted to make sure I was comfortable on the slopes before they(Scott and him) left to tear it up.

The place that we stayed at while skiing was way cool. This guy is an avid hunter. Black Bears, Deer, Badger's and probably more. Browny got real cozy with the Bear. Maybe they were related???
