Snowboarding - Check

Hubby and I went on a date Friday . . . to Breckenridge to go snowboarding!
A friend of ours took her two little boys up there because they didn’t have school Friday, so we decided to join her, without our kiddos because they DID have school on Friday.
We told Dude and Princess they were going [...]

We Graduated!!!

We had some great snow the past week, so we decided to head up to Breckenridge for one more day of boarding . . . and man are we glad we did! We met QT and Mr. T around 9:30 and hit the lift at 10:00 (takes a while to get 2 kids and 4 [...]

I’m Ditching The Gym on Friday

In another life, like just last year, I would have been lying on the couch immobile after the week I’ve had. But this year, I feel GREAT! I owe it all to the family taking up snowboarding with a vengeance this winter
In the past week I:

Spent Saturday and Sunday in the mountains for a [...]

Lenticular Cloud

Hubby and I saw this cool cloud on the way up the lift Sunday morning.

Weekend Recap

I finally took over the domain for my blog. I’ve always been the one who blogged here, but did not own the domain. But now it’s mine - woo hoo! I also switched hosting services . . . the bummer is that I lost some comments due to the timing of a post and the [...]

A Good Time Was Had By All

We took off for the mountains again on Saturday. It was a beautiful day! The snow was awful and there were quite a few people, but we still had a great time Now if only Princess would stop asking me constantly as she follows me down the mountain “Mommy, why do you go so [...]

It’s Difficult Letting Go

Ya ya ya - Dude is only 8, so we didn’t actually let him “go” anywhere . . . except up the chairlift with his 7 year old friend.

If you’re a parent of a kid who likes snow sports, you know how tough it is to let them go alone on that lift. Especially when [...]
