Winter Park

We headed up to Winter Park, CO over the weekend and had a great time with friends. A good friday night filled with Michigan card games and Michigan beer was exactly what we needed. Saturday, while they skiied, we did a 5 mile snowshoe hike through the national forest. It was the first time feeling confident.. and all the pain in the knee felt like "good pain" that indicated the muscles were actually getting the workout they need. It was so beautiful (and warm..) too.

In Golden, there was a record high on Saturday in the *70's*, and on Sunday we had white out snow in the 20's... weird weather indeed.

outdoors

This past weekend was fantastic.
Saturday we went up to Nederland for a two hour hoop-dance class. Needless to say it was our first hooping experience since elementary school and it was nothing like I remember. What a workout! I have a lot of respect for what can be done with the hoop, and hope to progress.

Sunday we hiked Mt.Galbraith. It's a great feeling to walk out the front door, down the street, and arrive at a Rocky Mountain trail head. The trail was challenging for me (yet a breeze for B), but it was also the first time feeling confident in hiking boots since surgery. With a little more time, I hope to be able to have the endurance and ease that Brett possesses.

Last night it snowed. Today it's bright blue sunny skies. Saturday's forecast is for 68F.
