Additional Photos

We made it home safe and sound. Thank you Lord for a wonderful trip.

I have pulled some snapshots from my Flip video camera and additonal photos from the week to post here.

One of the few pictures I have of Arden. She skies
so fast that I really wasn't around her much.

Headed Home

Time to get back to the real world. The last evening we were blessed with a beautiful sunset over the mountains. What a view from our condo!

We love to stop at Echo Canyon, but this time a photo from the road would have to do. We were ready to make as many miles as we could and get to Quanah in time to soak in the hot tub before the pool area closed. However, the hot tub and pool were down for repairs.

Happy New Year!

Wow! What a wonderful day. We couldn't have asked for better weather. Amber and the two girls chose to stay at the condo and hang out today. They have been skiing hard and needed the rest. They spent some time at the pool and hot tub, did some shopping and had lunch in town. The rest of us were on the mountain by 7:45 ready to ski.

New Year's Eve Ski Day

Back on the slopes today for a wonderful day of skiing. This area is so beautiful! We have seen abundant wildlife. Leah and Madison saw a bear today! We see mountain goats nearly every day on the drive to the slopes. This morning we saw the most awesome ram up in the rocks. If only I had had my camera! Kade is really getting the art of snow boarding down pat. Madison and Arden ski just about anywhere. Arden has been going down a few black runs! Jack Aaron hangs just fine with the men. Scott is feeling much better today. We think he may have had altitude sickness.

Tuesday in Town

Today all the guys went skiing and the girls hung out around town. We bought some sleds, did a little shopping, and ate lunch at Tequlia's over looking the hot springs resort. Next on the agenda was to head to the mountain to get in some sledding. The guys met us there and enjoyed a little sledding until time to get off the mountain before dark. Scott came back to the condo and went to bed with fever and hard chills.

Ski Monday

Got an early start; arrived at Wolf Creek, about a 30 minuet drive north from Pagosa, about 8:00. It was a good thing too. By the time we got our skis and lift tickets the line was very long. We heard someone who spends a lot of time skiing Wolf Creek say that this was the most people they had ever seen here. We had a good day on the mountain despite the long lift lines and crowds.

Sunday in Pagosa

What a beautiful day! Our condo (pictured, bottom unit) is really nice. We are just hanging out at the condo today. Headed for the hill first thing this morning. The kids got in some dish sledding until it cracked. Scott, Aaron, Leah and Jack Aaron went in to town to buy more sleds and find Aaron some boots. He found out that his were too slick after busting his tail a couple of times.

What pretty kids!
