Snowshoeing in Beaver Creek

We have always wanted to take the lift up in Beaver Creek and snowshoe in McCoy Park. We finally did it! And we will do it many more times. It was beautiful! Rachel used her GPS and we went about 5 miles. That's tough with weights around your ankles. You can't tell but it was only 24 degrees outside. Mom was wearing a t-shirt by the end and we hardly ever wore gloves. What a great day!

Our fiercely competitive race. This was at the beginning of the day, when we still had a lot of energy.


 Whoa we were tired. Rachel won by a hair. She started too fast, so I almost caught her. Too little too late.

Skiing in Vail or Beaver Creek



 It was snowy in the afternoon, so we are totally bundled. Me in blue helmet, Rachel in the middle and Mom in the fur.

Adam and me on the lift.

Rachel skiing. She is a perfect skier.


Dad skiing very well and me bring up the rear. That's pretty normal.

My first solo sew project


So as I told my family, to say I am proud of this bunting would be a vast understatement. I have sewn little things but have always had help. This is my first start to finish project I made by myself. Woohoo! Don't mind the messy stuff in the picture. I didn't show the rest of the room for a reason. We are getting built in bookshelves currently in our office. They are awesome so far! But, all our stuff is in our living room. Fabulous. No Christmas decorating for me yet.
