Happy Birthday Dad!!

Birthday Fun & Another Trip to the Mountains

On Friday night, we did a bar crawl down in Louisville for our friend Dave's 28th birthday. There is some really nice places and some that are a great deal. We got PBRs for $14.00 and 9 Bud Lights for $12.00! On Saturday, we all met up for a day of skiing at Keystone. Traffic was bad, so we only got to ski a half day. There was fresh snow, which was nice. We were pretty tired at the end of the day and had a nice night at our friend Josh and Amber's house. On Sunday, we had a full day of skiing at Breckenridge. We met up with my college friend, Mike Caudill, which was really fun. Traffic was bad on the way home and it took us about 3 1/2 hours. There wasn't much snow until we got near home and there had been a couple of inches.

Trip to Loveland

Chris was in Florida this week for work, but came back on Friday night. He was really tried, but we met some friends out for dinner. On Saturday, we did some things around town and took the dogs for a long walk since it was really warm and sunny outside. We went to bed early and got up about 5:45 AM on Sunday to head up to Loveland to go skiing. Chris was taking a tele clinic and I skied on my own. It was really sunny, but windy and there hasn't been any fresh snow in a while. However, it was a really fun time!

Happenings This Week

On Thursday, we went to the Walnut Brewery for a free pint of the thier latest beer to be put on tap. It was a good time and our friend Bridgette won a grill set since it was her 50th visit! On Saturday, we went skiing at Beaver Creek with our friends Josh and Amber. The snow was great and my latest thing is skiing trees, which is really fun. I used my new skies for the first time, which are awesome. They are so much faster!! We went to The Snake for dinner and stayed in Keystone with our friends Dave and Rye. On Saturday, Chris went to a tele clinic at Loveland while I skied A-Basin with Dave and Rye. We had a really fun day in the Montazuma Bowl, but then it turned extremely windy and the lighting was bad, so we called it a day. We have turned into snow snobs!

Crazy Week & Tubing Fun!

Well, Chris woke up Thursday throwing up and feeling awful. He thinks it was the spicy meatloaf he ate the night before and was feeling better on Friday. However, on Friday my mom started throwing up and was in bed all day. She was fine until we went into the "Mint Room" during the Celestial Seasoning tour. We knew it was bad when she didn't even get out of bed to see Alabama being embarrassed by Utah. Mom hung around the house on Friday and Saturday. On Saturday, the rest of us went to the Leaning Tree Museum and ate some lunch at Snarfs. On Saturday, everybody was feeling better so we went tubing at Keystone. We had a really fun day! However, Dad's calves had been hurting since he landed on Thursday in Denver. We wanted to make sure there wasn't a blood clot before he got back on the plane, so we went to the Boulder Community Hospital on Sunday night. We were there about three hours, but the staff was so nice and funny. Luckily, there wasn't any blood clots and they are safely back at home!

Happy New Year

Chris and me spent New Year's Eve with some friends eating dinner and then went to hear a bluegrass band. Chris wasn't feeling too good and the next day we figured out that he had food poisioning. I went to the airport and picked up my parents on Thursday morning. We did some things around town and watched football on TV.

Today my parents and me did a tour of Celestial Seasoning and sampled some teas. It was fun until we went into the Mint Room and my mom started feeling sick. We brought her home and she has been in bed ever since. However, now Chris is feeling much better. Dad and me at lunch at The Sink, which is like the Toomer's Corner of CU. Then we walked around the campus of CU.

Tomorrow we are supposed to be going to Keystone, but we will see how everybody is feeling!

Christmas 2008

Chris and I stayed in Colorado this year for Christmas. We did some fondue on Wednesday night, which is a Horne family tradition. We got up on Christmas Day and went to Beaver Creek for some skiing. It was great snow and nobody was there. We had a really great time. We stayed that night in Frisco at the Snowshoe Motel, which was a big change from Beaver Creek. The staff was really friendly though and we had a good dinner on Main Street. On Friday, we skied at Breckenrige and our friend Josh joined us. It was another uncrowded day and there was awesome powder during the first runs of the morning. We felt like kids on Christmas morning!
