A skiing we will go....


We set out Friday after work (in the pouring rain) for Colorado..... The trip was really quite easy due to the DVD player. What a great invention! I purchased 40+ hours of movies that the girls had not seen and it made the trip go rather quickly.... Plenty for the ride home too. :)

We spent one night in Wichita Falls & one in Pueblo, Co. and then it was on to Breckenridge for a week of fun!

We stayed in a super nice apartment at Grand Timber Lodge - right at the base of peak 9. Paul & Jen have a time share and got the accommodations for all of us. There were 12 of us staying the entire week and another 4 that flew in for just a few days.

The Hot tub sure felt good after a hard day on the slopes!
















Helen & Sharon relaxing - skiing is hard work!


David tried snow boarding but decided to stick with skiing. It came back to him rather quickly and he is already talking about planning our next ski trip. Just what we need - another hobby!

Loads for fun!!

Exhausted!!!!!!!!


What a great vacation!! Amanda, Emily, Allie & I learned to ski from a great instructor - Thanks Paul!!! Allie must have paid more attention than the rest of us as she turned into quite the little skier. She is just a natural I guess.

We made some great memories with our family & good friends! Times like this are what life is all about!
