Allison's 1st Ski Run

It's a beautiful blue ski day in Copper Mountain and Allison just completed her first solo ski run down the Kokomo trail.   She'd gotten about 1/2 way down a couple times before, but couldn't control her speed on the bottom part of the trail and that scared her.   This afternoon we warmed up with some jumps on the Lumberjack trail.  Also practice "pizza" on that run before heading back to Kokomo.

As a side note, a couple days ago Allison saw me spin around to ski backwards and kinda freaked out. Today, I was scolded for texting while skiing backwards.

Jason's First Soccer Game

Jason played his first soccer game today.   He decided to play soccer this spring instead of baseball and joined the Stars in RSA.   Jason enjoyed his morning at Breckenridge park.

Daddy Daughter Bowling

Today was a Girl Scout event - Daddy / Daughter bowling and I got to bowl with my two girls.   Allison had not really bowled before and she was really scared and tentative at first.   But as the video below shows, she warmed up to it.

I love my girls!

Ice Surfing

Jason and Allison are learning to use the Boogie board to body surf.
No waves available, just ice.

Camp Constantin

Jason and I got to spend one cold night with pack 1776 at Camp Constantin.

We set up the great tent that the Lipes lent us as close as Jason could arrange to the Ferenczhalmy tent.

The morning started with a hike to the lake and back.

Then Jason got to shoot a bunch of things:

 But his favorite activity was tree climbing.

 

Vacation at Primland

Paula and I got away for a few days at Primland without the kids (thanks Oma and Nana!  (and Uncle David and Aunt Rhonda!)).   After an enjoyable dinner catching up with the Kopps in Greensboro, we drove up to the resort the next day.   I played some golf.

Beautiful birdie hole

Paula was chauffeur and drove the cart over hill and dale.   There were many beautiful views from the course.

My cart babe

Here's a shot of the hotel itself.    They have smores available to roast on the fire on the back porch every night.  Our room was the 2nd window on the right on the top floor.   You can just see the round portion of the hotel on the right.  The bottom floor is the golf clubhouse.  The 3rd floor is the library.  The top floor is the observatory.

Then did some hiking and sightseeing.
