Ski Weekend 2013

Well, our ski annual ski weekend turned out a little differently than in years past. We ended up with only one other couple joining us this year and that was Nate and Nicole. Joe and Heather, Ryan and Jen just couldn't make it this year. First time we weren't all together in years! It was still a great weekend! Nate and Nicole brought Annabelle along this year to ski. We all skied on Friday at Blackjack including Owen! Both Owen and Annabelle had private lessons for the 1st hour and a half. What a huge difference that makes! Aaron and I had picked up a ski harness for Owen before we left thinking that would have came in handy when we had first taught Grace. Well, needless to say Aaron returned the harness this week since we didn't even need to use it! Owen was a pro! Not to say that he didn't fall, a lot, but he was incredibly fearless! By the end of the day he was navigating his way over the jumps and graduated to a blue hill! The bigger hill did bring quite the tumble for the last run of the day. I was inside and had just looked out the window to see him screaming down the hill and coming to a huge crash! I thought for sure he would cry after that but no! Guess it was a blessing there was lots of fresh powder that day! Saturday just us adults went skiing at Indianhead. As we were leaving Owen was in tears cause he wanted to come with us. We all enjoyed another wonderful snowy day on the slopes. Afterwards we hit the bar at Indianhead to hear some music and have some beer. We then moved onto the Alpen Inn over by Powderhorn Mtn to see a guy play that we had seen another year by the name of Brad Emmanuel. He was SO great that we ended up following him over to a local bar called the Pub and Grub. We ended up meeting up with a group we had seen at the last bar and had a lot of laughs with them that evening! Always a good time had by all!
