Ski Time

Last week it was time once again for our yearly ski trip. We were blessed to spend six wonderful days in snowy Frisco, CO skiing at Copper Mountain. This year the same ole ski junkies tagged along--Alex and Bernice, Ronnie and Jessica, Dad, Curt and Sandy... plus a couple of newbies, too. Mornings were crisp at around 11-12 degrees F, but the afternoons warmed up into the 30's, which gets pretty hot when you're bundled up in all your ski gear.

Most of the week was uneventful. I banged my head pretty hard in a wipe out and decided to ski with a helmet from now on. Ronnie and Bernice have decided to become snowboarding punks. All of us probably spent too much money end of season ski sales.







Aeva's first glipse of snow was on this trip.





Talk about fortunate! Jessica's aunt Madeline spent the weekend with us and you know what that meant??? That always means lots and lots and REALLY good food!










Aeva had a blast this trip (at least during the day time). She has turned into a real social butterfly, and has become an accomplished flirt. I'm pretty sure this little girl has acquire her mama's social disposition.










Way to go Ronnie! He's a married man this year, as well as a new snowboarding fanatic.


Dad is a real trooper. If there is snow, he'll be around with a set of skiis, even if it mean he has to hang out with a bunch of young folks.









Isreal clearly receiving Jessica's highly prized romantic advice with eager anticipation.
Jessica's uncle Gaby broke his left wrist on the first run of the first day. Curt and I offered to assist him with a needed surgery... can you believe he refused?

No broken bones for Curt this year!




Isreal and his girlfriend Stacy were with us half the week. Fortuantely, Stacy is wonderful with children and made fast friends with Aeva, who found her uterly fasciating.

This was Aeva's longest trip away from home, and she wasn't too keen on having Daddy give her baths in the sink. Seems Aeva wasn't too keen on the altitude either. Most nights she woke up crying every hour on the hour to keep Mom and Dad company (how considerate), which made for a very long and tiring week for her parents. Jessica was sick by Thursday and both of us had racoon eyes before the week was out.
