Weekend at Copper Mountain

Bristyn and Brenton being goofy (as usual!!!)....This is inside of the eating area at Copper Mountain.

This was a common sight, Bristyn on the ground!!!

This past weekend, for our anniversary, we decided to take the kids snowboarding for their first time. I know, sounds romantic, doesn't it?? We went up to Copper Mountain, which is right next to Breckenridge. It was FREAKIN cold!!! It snowed the whole entire day, but it was awesome. Brenton just decided to get on a ski lift and go for it, we couldn't believe it, he did great!!! Not to be outdone by Brenton, Bristyn went up with him the second time....let's just say, she spent most of her first run on the ground. By the end of the day, they had gotten the swing of it and they loved it. Bradley has some competition with his little brother now!!! Mike and I were laughing so hard watching them fall down, why do I find pleasure in things like that? It was a fun weekend, but the drive home was slow....the road conditions were horrible from all the snow. Now the kids want to go all the time....

What a very fun anniversary trip. You and Mike are very adventurous. I love looking at the snow....not being IN the snow.
The kids did great....they are bound to be adventurous too:)

I remember my first time snowboarding. I spent a lot of time on the ground too! It was fun but I don't like being cold.

Don't show this to Mariah who wants to learn how to snow board sooo bad. Ummmm, Ohio has NO MOUNTAINS, or even hills for that matter. I'm glad you had fun! Talking about being cold, it was 1 degree here yesterday and neg 16 with wind chill factor. Brrrr!

Your Christmas decorations are so great. I noticed the wonderful graffitti post to and spent quite some time browsing that site. Thanks for passing that tip on. Have a great Christmas.

Looks like fun Diana! Austin loves to snowboard. He would go every weekend if we'd take him! I prefer the lodge by the fire with a good book!
