Mountain golf

My department had a retreat in the mountains recently. We had a golf
tournament before the meetings started and on the course we saw these
deer crossing the fairway. It was a doe and her two small fawns. They
were really close and couldn't care less that we were there. It was
really cool. By the way, it was 45 degrees at 6:30 in the morning when
we started.

Millshake fun

We went to my grandpa's house to pick vegetables yesterday and also
got fresh strawberries. I got just enough to make milkshakes today.
Elizabeth really liked the shake, as evidenced by this picture.

Alpine slide

While at the ski resort, we took ski chairs up to the top of the alpine slide and went down the slide. Kevin and Elena went solo. Andrea went with me and Elizabeth went with Elisa. My sister Marci went too, as did my mom.






Mountain fun

We went Saturday up the mountain to a ski resort. Having just moved from an area in the east with little to no mountains of any large size, we are really enjoying having large mountains around. We took the tram up to the top of a mountain and enjoyed the view. We even hiked around a little, but at 11,000 feet, we could tell the difference in altitude when we hiked.

We took this picture of our family there.





Hiking up the hill to get back to the tram. It was great exercize.

Out with Marci

I took my little sister out to see a movie today. Many years ago I
introduced her to the Mummy movie and this year a sequel came out so I
got tickets and today we went. I got a picture of her eating the
popcorn we got. It was lots of fun.

Hiking in mountain

Well Elisa and I had a day to ourselves while all the kids were at
their aunt Amaya and uncle JC's house. So among the many things we
did was drive up the canyon and found a hiking trail (pretty steep).
At the top was this waterfall and I took this picture of Elisa. I
think it is a very good picture. She is not so sure. What do you think?
