Colorado Vacation - Feb. 21-28, 2009

Welcome to Granby, Colorado, just about 20 minutes north of Winter Park.  It is a newly developed ski-resort type town where a client of Jeremy's (Nate's oldest brother) owns a huge, beautiful cabin on the side of the mountain.  The owner rents this 5 bedroom, 5 bath cabin out, but invited us to stay for a week without charge.  He also procured ski lift tickets for us for the week!  What a blessing!  It has been a fantastic, relaxing week.  We have enjoyed the mountains, skiing, and spending time with Jeremy and Jennifer and their boys Michael and Ian.

A relaxing morning -- watching Netflix movies in our jammies!

This is right outside the cabin!  We have seen several fox around here

Josiah and Daddy go sledding!






What a beautiful place to stay!


On Wednesday night we went to a place where you can go tubing.  This is my favorite winter "sport" ever!  What a rush!!!



No, Josiah did not go tubing.  Mommy drew the line there.  But he sure looked cute sitting in the tube!









On Thursday afternoon, Nate and Jeremy tried snowboarding.  Jen and Missy went shopping while the boys played today, so no pictures of Nate "in action".
If they are still able to stand up tomorrow, I will try to get some action shots of Nate.






Here is Jeremy's first snowboarding experience on the bunny slope.  As a side note, Michael and Ian are the two small skiers on the right side of the screen.  They are incredibly good.  Ian is not quite 7, and he did some "black" slopes.  Michael, 9, is a little more cautious, but also is very good, and can do some jumps!
