Fun Weekend with Tim

Tim Gregory suprised us Thursday night by purchasing a last minute plane ticket and coming to town for the weekend. It was a really fun weekend and we all had a great time.

Closing Day

It is hard to believe, but ski season is over for the most part. A-Basin and Loveland are the only ones still open. Melisa and me drove up to Vail once I-70 opened up on Saturday morning. There was a good amount of snow in the Front Range that turned into rain. However, we made record time to Silverthorne and did some shopping. Then, we drove on to Vail and were very confused when there wasn't much snow and the roads were dry. And to think the interstate had been closed for 80 miles? We had a fun night eating at the Blue Moose on Saturday night and got up early to hit the slopes. We found some good untouched snow and had a full day of skiing. They had a free concert with O.A.R., which we watched then headed home.

More Easter Photos and Travel Plans

Below are a few more photos from the Easter weekend that our friend Dave took.

Chris and me have decided it is time to take a trip to Europe. We have a good friend that is going to be in Switzerland with a group for a month and a half to do some base jumping. We have decided to go tour some of Switzerland and visit them for a few days. Our plan is to fly into Zurich and then head to the Bernese Oberland area for a few days and then head to Lucerne and back to Zurich. There is a cool biking loop we want to do through some of the villages. Chris is about to start taking paragliding lessons as well! He hopes to do a solo jump while we are there. If not, then he will have to do a tandum jump like me. Either way it will be so fun! My tri in on 8/2 and we are going to fly out the next day to Switzerland. We plan to come back on the 10th or 11th. Fun!!!

Easter Weekend

We hung around the house this weekend. On Sunday, we got up early and went to the sunrise service at Red Rocks. It was good, but very foggy and cloudy so you couldn't see the sun. They sang Jesus Christ Superstar, which was good and interesting. We got home and went on a hike with Dave and his new roommate Beth. Then, we showered up and headed over to Dave's house for an Easter celebration since none of us have families in the area. It was fun and we had about 12 people with lots and lots of food. It felt like Thanksgiving with all the food. I even made an old school bunny cake like me and Melissa used to make when we were little.

Also, there is some funny photos of Maddie. She was beside herself when Chris and Oakley went to run an errand. She sat and stared out the window until they returned.

Birthday Fun in Denver

This weekend we were supposed to get about a foot of snow on the ground, but it was mainly just some flurries with not too much accumulation. On Friday night, we went down to Denver for our friend Julie's birthday. It was a fun time and we spent the night down there. The next day ate lunch at the famous Cherry Cricket. Chris and me wanted to go there after seeing it on the show Man v. Food. It was a good burger!

Beer, Babes, and Blades

This weekend we headed up to the High Country on Friday after work. Melisa and I did some skiing on Saturday at Keystone then Chris and Josh met up with us for the BBQ Fest. We had more people join us on Saturday night to get ready for our big party the next day. Josh's former boss was nice enough to let us use their vacation home during the weekend, which made it even more fun. On Sunday, we reserved a spot and had a great turn out for our Beer, Babes, and Blades party. It was really fun and I have to admit ski blades are especially fun. There was some really good costumes. Chris even shaved a mustache for it.

Snow! Snow! Snow!

Well after a week of 75 degrees, it had turned to winter again. I made the mistake of going into the office this morning. It took me about three hours to get home, but I was just glad to get home. The main roads going into Boulder were all closed as well as the side streets. I wasn't sure if I was going to make it home or not. There were wrecks everywhere and cars spinning out. We got about a foot and an half of snow at our house today. Chris didn't mind his injured shoulder since I had to do all the shoveling. Please excuse my lounge pants...they are pretty bad. We will be headed up to the High Country tomorrow for a fun weekend and I can't wait to snow in the awesome fresh snow!
