Ski Trip

This trip was a couple weeks ago. I had so much fun! Dan and I went down and was spoiled silly by his mom and Stuart. This was my first time skiing, and his mom is a good teacher. She was very patient as I learned. I had some magnificent crashes and forgot sunscreen (apparently the sun can still burn when it's cold outside). The little bit of pain was worth it though. I love the feeling of flying down a mountain.




This is me with Sean, Wendy and Stuart. Sean is really good at skiing! He gave me some good pointers on snowplowing.

Easter Weekend



Jessica came down from Idaho and we played all weekend long! We got up at 6:30 AM to get to conference on time. It was worth it. Here we are at the conference center.



Between sessions we toured the Beehive house - in Spanish. I understood about 1/4 of what was said through a combination of picking up bits of Spanish from Dan and Leah and knowing a lot of the stories they told. Jessica translated the rest.




Daniel picked us up after the second session and we met his family at a park. There were baby goats, rabbits, horses and other farm animals there. Here's Daniel and I petting a baby goat.



We decorated eggs too. It was fun pretending to be a kid again. I even got an Easter bucket this year. I haven't had one for a few years now ... Dan's parents spoil me.



My cousins Holly and Charles were able to drop in after they came back from Wyoming. After some persuading, we got Charles to be in the picture too. I should have expected he would do something like this.
