Indoor Waterpark in Flint TX

I meant to blog about this right after Christmas but I didn't have much free time before our ski trip. My aunt and uncle have a timeshare in Flint Tx and as a bonus they get to use the properties indoor waterpark. They kindly invited us to go with them after Christmas and it was so much fun. Normally I would not be caught dead in a bathing suit during the winter because I'm so white but I'm sure glad I did. The kids had a blast and Jerod conquered so many of his water fears. I was so proud of him when at the very last minute, he built up his courage and went down the biggest slide there all by himself. When he came out of the water he was so excited and wanted to go down it again and again.

Thanks again David and Tina!!!

Ski Trip to Winter Park, Colorado 2009-2010

Wow, what a long blog, so many memories to share. I went skiing for the very first time over New Year's and it was a great way to ring in 2010. It was another first as this was the first family trip Brent and I have taken with his family. We got to share this time with his Dad, Kathy and Bradley. I wasn't sure how well I would do at skiing but I have to say by the second day, I was doing pretty well. I got my turning down ok, but stopping was another story. I never really figured that out because falling pretty much took care of that. I did take a pretty hard hit on the 3rd day. Brent and I decided to ski down a blue as a short cut for lunch and that was a big mistake. I hit an icy patch and fell straight back on my head landing pretty hard. Took me a few minutes to gather myself and I ended up calling it quits after lunch. Our last day was a lot of fun and had a few surprises for us. We decided to go tubing the morning of our last day and I loved it!! Flying down the hill in a tube was a blast and I could have done that all day long. Making our way back down the mountain was a little scary. It was snowing really hard and visibility was about a foot ahead of you. We finally made it down the mountain and made a quick detour to Red Rocks Music Venue. I didn't even know about this place, but Brent sure did. He's been wanting to see this place for a long time and I'm glad he got the opportunity. Its an outdoor Amphitheatre built in 2 300ft monoliths. Its like our SuperPages.com center but way cooler!! I loved our trip and can't wait to go again!!

Happy New Year everyone!! Love you all : )

Arrival Day
On our way!!!
