Whenever our grandson Brady drops something or sees a problem, he says "Oh No" in a really cute way. In fact, we have all taken to copying his " Oh no!" saying. So when Barb and I went skiing yesterday and saw this run, we had to take this picture:
We probably should have known it was an omen for later in the day when we chose to take an advanced run called " Triple Threat" which was all moguls...that was not fun! But all in all, we had an awesome first day of Colorado skiing. The temp was in the 30's at the base... not bad for Janurary... not a cloud in the sky and we skied up to lifts all day!
Our self photo taken at arms length...
Taking a break...
A professional photo taken for us at the top of the mountain:
Later in the day we recorded some amazing video of an Olympic hopeful who was skiing right near us! The grace... the beauty.... the speed!
We even saw a guy ski jumping near us. You will be awed by the "air" this guys gets in this video! I can't even imagine the guts it takes to try this move!
All in all a great day on the mountain... just a shadow of what we hope our retirement will be like.
And Colorado is STILL the place we belong!

I LOVE this post! Awesome pictures, even better narrative. It's awesome that you can still have so much fun together...and get down the mountain with such ease :)
As much fun as skiing sounds and looks, I still think I would rather experience the surroundings of your profile pic. Nice Holland breezes, shorts and tees. Love the warmth! The last pic says volumes! Such LOVE!
