We can't take much more vacation fun....

All week I kept planning on hitting the powder the last few days of vacation when it snowed. Well... Thursday morning I awoke to find all that powder I'd hoped for. I headed to the mountain early for first tracks and on my second run headed back to the bowls I hit the powder.... with my head. Yes I caught an edge going 45mph and did my best impersonation of Lindsey Kildow's training mishap in Torino. After 5 minutes on my back in the middle of Mozart I got up and made it to the bottom. Needless to say that ended my skiing for the week. Praise the man above for aleve and muscle relaxers. We made it home Friday afternoon after picking up B @ the farm, unpacked and watched more olympics. Then this morning we awoke to -8 deg temps and our involuntary participation in xcel energy's rolling blackout program. After 2 hours without power, a cooling interior, and hugry baby, we headed to G&G H's. Now we're home. We have power (at least for now). And everyones happy. In spite of all the little mishaps we know how blessed we are and enjoy laughing at the hiccups of life.
