In the Springs, we started off with some new snow.....twice. Here is a view of Pike's Peak. I must admit, I am regularly in awe of the fact that we live in the shadow of a 14,000 foot peak.....and it is so beautiful. (I apologize in advance for the poor pics, as they were taken with my Blackberry, camera phone.)
On Thursday, Audra and I took personal days...."mental health days", as Colorado folk so commonly call them..... and we went for a day of skiing. The Peak had received a new coating of snow, as did Breck and we had a blast.
Audra ending a run of bumps. After the day of skiing on Thursday, we headed back up on Sunday with Tyler. (Cassi and Bryce worked and Katie begged to sleep in.)
After we left Breck, we drive Hwy 6 up over Hoosier Pass and down to the tiny town of Alma. This year, we discovered an outstanding little coffee and pastry shop, that also serves wonderful sandwiches at lunch. Audra caught Tyler and I heading out of the Alma Coffee House with a couple of 'Americano's'. Tyler munched down on one of their, awesome donuts.
On Saturday afternoon, Katie and all her Club Volleyball teammates, enjoyed a couple of hours at a gymnastics facility and had a pizza party. Here is a blurry pic of Katie in a harness, on the trampoline.
