The Minnesotan in me loves winter. I love snow and cold and fires in the fireplace and game nights with the fam on nights that get dark way too early.
Here on the front range, we didn’t really get winter. It’s really quite a bummer. And this past week, it’s been in the 60s. Yes 60s. [...]

Spring Fever?
Snowboarding Sunrise
One of the many reasons I don’t mind getting up early to go snowboarding.
A Glimpse Into The Future?
Dude and his best friend have known each other since Dude was 8 weeks old. I love that they are still best friends. I wonder if this photo will be recreated in about 10 years when they’re on their own in Breck?
The Girl Boards
Princess decided that she wanted to try snowboarding again this year now that she’s a couple years older, bigger, and stronger. Dude, Princess, and I met some friends up in Breckenridge last weekend and had a BLAST! Dude and I hung out all day on the slopes while Princess took a lesson all day. She [...]
What I Learned Over Spring Break Part VI - 03/22/10
I learned that . . .

. . . one night makes all the difference!

What I Learned Over Spring Break Part II - 03/18/10
I learned that . . .
. . . in addition to the size of the hotel room, my kids base the niceness of a hotel on the content of the free continental breakfast. Apparently a hotel rocks if it has one of those cool flipping waffle makers . . . and blueberry muffins.
. . . [...]
Swingers For A Day
We were going up snowboarding this past Saturday, so we invited some friends along. Turns out, they already had plans to go to another mountain, so we looked for some discount tickets so we could join them. We found there was a Swinger deal, which made me giggle Click the link to read and [...]
We Boycotted The Super Bowl
The Vikings or Packers weren’t in the Super Bowl, so we headed up to the mountains on Super Bowl Sunday. We figured we’d have a double good chance of a slow day up there - the Super Bowl would take some people and it was Sunday, always slower. The bonus was that it had snowed [...]
