Copper Mountain Ski Retreat

Aaron and I went on an Adventure Rabbi Ski Retreat to Copper Mountain this past weekend. We had a great time. The first day of skiing started off a little crazy for me; my camelbak leaked all over my clothes before I even put my skis on, but after a quick change we hit the mountain. Aaron led me down some green runs and eventually I made it to some blues! The next day's skiing went much better and the day was just perfect for skiing. Aaron and I have matching red cheeks for our day in sun and snow! I eventually made some blue runs on the east side of the mountain with the occasional wipe out... but all in all I had a great time and we both look forward to more skiing! The retreat was fabulous also, we met some great people, and we look forward to more Adventure Rabbi Events!

Mara's a big girl now!

Happy 3rd Birthday Mara!

Mara is 3!! We had family and friends together to celebrate Mara's third birthday. Tinkerbell was the theme and it was a magical day for Mara. The kids enjoyed the bounce house as well as eating the yummy cake. Thank you to all who helped celebrate this special event!

Beano's Cabin

This past weekend we headed up to the mountains for a surprise evening out. We took Mormor and Grandpa Ed up to Beaver Creek to Beano's Cabin to take in the winter scenery and for a delicious dinner. The evening was full of adventure. Mara was enraptured by the snow cat sleds that took us up the mountain to Beano's Cabin. Megan however had a different opinion of the ride... Once we arrived at the cabin and we shed most of the layers we had piled on to keep warm, we were started off on our 5 course meal. We tried some new foods (and for some foreign objects) and had a great time taking in the cozy atmosphere. We heard that porcupines like to come try to get some scraps, but we didn't get to see any. After finishing our desert, creme brulee, a ganosh tart, and apricot cake, and a big bananna split for Mara; we headed back down the mountain under the starry clear crip mountain sky.

Megan took her first few steps today! She has finally joined the rest of us bipedal people and is trying out her legs on a whole new dimension. We are so proud of her huge milestone.
