Skiing In Denver





We had two potential ski days while in Denver.  Mike headed up with the girls on Saturday...and apparently it was COLD!  The girls got all dressed and headed to the ticket booth. By the time they got to the ticket booth all 3 girls were in TEARS!! So grandpa kindly volunteered to bring the girls back and let Mike and Brent enjoy a day of skiing! Well, apparently it was REALLY cold, because Mike and Brent survived one lift and run down and were frozen! Complete with frostbite on their faces.  Mike took off his glove to readjust something and couldnt feel the tips of his fingers for 24 hours. So they bailed and came home.  Mike has never left a hill early...so it must have been cold.  Brent was a TROOPER and vowed not to throw in the towel unless Mike did. We tried again Monday and had a great day! It was so fun to see all the kids cheer each other on down the hill. Paige and Devon were soooo cute.....little mini skiers! It was a fun day and a huge thanks to grandma and auntie Kristin for watching teething James!! I REALLY enjoyed my day skiing. I tried out my new skiis (from last christmas) and I was in a new ski jacket and pants (HUGE thanks to Dan)! I was so warm...even my toes were toasty in my new boots!  Skiing was SOOO enjoyable!!  The skiis are really amazing too!  Wow..it was a fun day!
