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

Jerry completing the only DIY part of the project - Drilling holes for knobs...




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.

Winter Carnival!


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