... vinna mot killarna tills slutet när vi av ett litet litet misstag fick i 8:an!

På torsdagen som var självaste Thanksgiving blev vi (liksom alla andra i byn) inbjudna till brandstationen där kommunens invånare bjöd på den klassiska måltiden. Personalen bestod av frivilliga från kyrkan, banken och andra ställen. Gästerna var byns personal, invånare och turister som vi. Precis som att någon donerat maten donerade vi i ...

... de flesta skidorter, men den ligger å andra sidan längre in på säsongen. Hade i alla fall en fantastisk dag med tre barn som älskar skidor (ja, om man får tillräckligt med mat på regelbundna tider om ni förstår vad jag menar).

Den minsta tjejen åkte mot slutet av dagen om sin brorsa, men det är som vi sager man är bra på olika saker och alla har sin utvecklingstakt. Och som bara en femåring kan säga (eller en amerikan) "- jag tror jag är bäst i ...

... 500ft. We were kinda looking forward to going and spending some time in Vail, which was the town right before we started that climb. We decided that we'd save that visit for another time, didn't want to put "Charlie" through that pain again....

We arrived in Copper Mountain Resort area around 1:30 and did a little walking around. We soon realized that this town ...

... it was kinda cloudy and it rained a lot on our drive back down, which made it even scarier! But we eventually made it back down and headed thru Idaho Springs on Hwy 103. We passed lots of cool old mountain houses and cabins. It would be cool to live in one of them for a couple months just to have that experience of living away from civilization on the side of a huge mountain. We passed a couple old abandoned mines which was neat. I love stuff like that ...

... 8217;t come thru with enough weather to cause us to flee the mountain and I am informed that we only have one more peak to go, Treasure Peak…………… Hello what “one more” excuse me I don’t get it! Of course we go back to the parking spot choice and the fact that climbing the next peak is an easier decent to the truck. So I could have whined and protested and for sure found a way down to the truck (hello once again that ...

This was by far my favorite part of our trip to Colorado. We rented bikes from Charter Sports ($14)
located in the Vail Cascade Resort (which sat adjacent - and within a quick walk from our Resort) Once again our resort set us up with a free shuttle to the top of the mountain where the Vail Pass starts. It was an easy 2 hour bike ride where we coasted down 3,000 feet. On our ...

We spent the rest of the afternoon/evening exploring the shops in the Vail Village-which is an adorable German architecture looking resort town. We had dinner at Up The Creek
which is more of an "up-scale" restaurant. It was a little harder to find as it was set off of the main road directly on the creek.

I'm not the most adventuresome eater, so there were limited items on the ...

This year we skied for two weeks and both spring skiing and some good snow. We skied Breckenridge, Keystone, Vail, and Arapahoe Basin. One day Peter and Ron took the day off and went fly fishing with a guide in Silverthorne. It was cold and they caught one fish but they still had a good time. Mike and Laurie joined us for a couple of days which was great!

... stroll. I have always wondered what people think before they make it to a trail. I see them out on the trail with jeans, jackets, and regular shoes. Sometimes I come back on the same trail and I might see the same people again. When I see them the second time, the jackets are tied around their wastes, their shoes are covered in dirt or mud, and most of the time they are stopped when I see them because they are gasping for air. Don't ...

We passed Vail and it was nice to see a ski resort. We had passed so many but we had not seen anyone actually ski. So that's one off the list of things to see. And Frisco looked like the typical laid-back Colorado town. Even its name implicated being laid-back.
