Two angles of our condo. It was a perfect fit for us. We had two condos. My sister's family and my famly stayed in one. My parents, brother and aunt's family stayed in the other.

Look I can do it too

My nephew Sam was too young to take lessons so Ashleigh let him ride her board in the condo.

Spidergirl?

It looks like my sister Christy did not want to be left out of the excitement.

Here is my dad scales a rock wall. Not bad for an "old" man

Ashleigh boarding

Her second lesson was a private lesson at a group rate. There was no one else that was past a beginning level. The instructor said she was a natural

Christmas Hats

A friend of mine knitted these hats for her kids and she let us borrow them for a family photo. Can we say next years Christmas cards

Christmas Vacation

As many of you know my family took a ski vacation to WV. We had my sister's family, my brother, my parents and my aunt's family with us. We all had a great time. Unforunately the weaterh was not the best. Of the five days that we stayed it rained two and only snowed once. Paul and I both took snowboarding lessons. He was a natural and I was not. Ashleigh also took boarding lessons and she did wonderfully. Sarah took skiing lessons and liked it. I think next time I will try skiing. We did however have two injuries. Ashleigh's wrist that she broke back in May has been bothering her so she has an appointment with the ortho. Let's keep our fingers crossed. Paul also hurt his thumb. He has not asked me to make an appointment with the orth for him. We will just have to wait and see. Overall we had a great time.
