A few pictures from when Janina came to visit.



It was another beautiful day for skiing.
We took a cruise up into the mountains one day and saw this cabin in middle of the field. 

Janina left last night, I am surprised that she was actaully able to get out.  We got a big storm last night, the roads were the worst I have driven in a long time.  Crazy that on Monday it was 75 degrees!  Now today it has warmed up and all the snow is melting!

The trees all looked so cool!

Another beautiful day on the mountain

Today Michael and I decided to try out Keystone.  It was a beautiful, warm sunny day.  The snow wasn't the best but it was still fun.  I couldn't believe how many people were out there on a Monday, I think a lot of people are fair weather friends!  I don't think the view from the top of the mountain will ever get old!  Pictures just don't do it justice.
This is looking towards Dillon & Silverthorne, you can also see the Dillon Reservoir.
This is looking at Breckenridge

I even got to ride a gondola!  For some reason I have always wanted to.


Looking down the hill at Keystone Village

We had a lot of fun.  I was kinda proud of myself, I went through tree and down some bump runs.  It was a little difficult, but I made it!

New Background

I have been wanting to make my own background, but never knew how.  I found directions on-line and decided to give it a try.  It took me a lot longer than I thought it would.  I would like to figure out a way to blend the pictures together a little more, but don't have the right photo editing programs to do it.  In highschool I remember using Photoshop and really like it, but...it is a little too expensive to buy:(  Anyone no of anything free online to use?

We had such a fun weekend with Kari, Aimee and Madeline.  I'm definetly not used to staying up late.  I was so exhausted from such a fun weekend, I came home from work yesterday and slept 'till 10!  I think I am finally caught up on my sleep. 

At Texas Roadhouse, Kari & Aimee got free ribs for it being their first time.  I wonder why no one ever asked us that before?

At Red Rocks Ampitheatre
It was such a beautiful day at A-Basin, we all got beautiful goggle tan lines!  I gues mine must have been pretty noticeable because all day at work on Monday I got comments about my burnt face.


Lookout Mountain
We never knew about this place before!  We had been to the top before, but didn't realize that you had to go back down the other side of the mountain to see anything.
Thanks for a fun time girls!  You are welcome to come back anytime:)

Sports

Saturday we went to a Mammoth (lacrosse) game.  Before moving out here I never knew there was a pro lacrosse league.  I really wasn't too interested in going but Michael and Barry both wanted to, so on Saturday we went to a game.  It was much more fun that I thought it would be.  It seems to be more focused on entertaining the crowd than the actual game...so much different than hockey.  Cheaper than hockey too, you can get $5 tickets :) There was music playing and the announcer were talking the whole time the game was going on.  I know absolutly nothing about the sport, but it was really fun!


For the introductions they had pyrotechnics and Harleys on the field...it was interesting!  I was surprised how many people were actually there.  I guess it is a really big sport out here and all the high schools have teams.  It was Wild West Night on Saturday, so there was all kinds of people dressed up in western gear, it made it interesting for people watching...my favorite thing to do!  At half time they had little kids riding sheep, like a mini rodeo...hilarious! 

On Monday night we went to the Red Wings game.  Of course the only time I forget my camera is then :(  I took a couple of pics with my phone, but they don't turn out near as good.  The game was super fun, and I actually was getting all into it.  (And I'm not even a big hockey fan.)  We have been told that when the Wings are in town, you can't even tell which team is the home team.  I couldn't believe how many wings fans there were at the game.  It makes it even more fun when you aren't the only one cheering for your team!
I am looking foward to Kari, Madeline and Aimee coming to town on Thursday!!!
