Tamarack Weekend

What a great weekend of skiing we all had! This was the weekend we discovered how wonderful a ski in/ski out cottage can be. Nothing like stepping off our patio and hitting the slopes! The only problem was the sixty steps to get up to the cottage in the first place. Lindy, Greg, Kelsey, and Josh enjoyed the hot tub. too!

Could not have asked for better weather. From the top of the Summit Chair the view was incredible. It seemed like you could see forever.

This is the view heading down Serenity Run.

Taking some time to pose for pictures. Everyone was very nice and waited for Mom.

Josh at the end of the day snowboarding right to the patio of our cottage!

The perfect way to end the day. "Top Chef" Kelsey prepares our meal. Thanks for the great food!

Florida Round 1

Looks like I might be going back again next week, but here are my pictures from FL round 1.

Some of the Fam playing volleyball on the beach just outside our condo... the one on the right.

We went deep sea fishing one day, my cousin Allie caught a huge snapper! Unfortunately all of my catches were baby fish

On Saturday we went to Sea World which was a lot different than I remember it as a kid. The Shamu Rocks show at the end of the day was the best... It hard to see in the pic, but Shamu just pushed that trainer 30ft in the air!

We also did a lot of surfing, my uncle rented 3 boards for the entire week.

First Things First

The painting prep work underway and our trusty painter Dan suits up so he can withstand the fumes!

Amazing difference that a little paint makes! The cabinets look like new and the whole kitchen is so much brighter. Now we can move on to the counter tops and the new appliances.

Kitchen Face-Lift

Dad and I hatched our own plan to stimulate the economy by giving our very sad kitchen a face-lift! Here are the before pictures!

Winter Carnival!

The weather for Winter Carnival was great! Except for Monday, when most of these pictures were taken unfortunately.

NASA Photo of the Day

I admit that I added this gadget to the blog because of Greg. I have found it to be really interesting though. Click on the headline and you learn all sorts of stuff about what is going on in the space program. Give it a try!
Ever since I wrote this the NASA Gadget quit working! Hopefully, it will be back soon... ( I replaced it until they get it fixed)

FBR Open

Had a great day at the FBR Open. I had to sneak the camera in and be very discreet taking some shots. It was not nearly as crazy as Saturday or maybe there were a lot less people due to the Super Bowl. We spent a little bit of time at the crazy 16th hole. The crowds were just getting warmed up. I don't know how they sit there all day, it gets hot fast!

Lonely out there when you are way off the lead!

The crowd gathers around 18. We are off to watch the football game!
