SNOW!!

Zack, Michelle, Ty, Lori and Bryn drove to Colorado for Ty's spring break. As luck would have it, I was off work most of the same days, so we had a great time all together. We went to my parent's cabin in Arrowhead, CO and enjoyed some snow type activities. I thought I'd share some pics from our fun.

Ty & Lori using sleds like snowboards...Lori did really well

Where did your feet go?

Eating a "snow dog". Dad & Ty made a fire in the snow and we roasted hot dogs. It was a lot of fun. My stick was really long & I was able to rest it on the ground while I ate standing up.

Bryn doesn't like smiling for the camera, but I was able to get this one while she was playing with Zack.
It was my first time driving a snowmobile & it was a blast! Unfortunately Zack didn't get a good pic of my getting some air.

Easter

So, my family had our Easter Egg hunt a little early as we weren't going to be together on Sunday. It was fun to be all together as it doesn't seem to really happen all that often. I'm used to being around a lot of family for the holidays, so it's been weird for me...spending more holidays alone or with just my grandparents. Don't get me wrong...I LOVE being with my grandparents. I just miss what the holidays used to be like when we were kids. So here are some pics from the egg coloring and hunt.



We had a hard time getting all the kids to look and smile at the same time.

What in the world?

Ok, so I was driving home from work today and saw this lady walking across the street pushing a stroller. This in itself might not seem worthy of a post, BUT it was the kind of stroller & what was in it that had me taking another look & shaking my head. There was a little dog sticking it's head out of the zippered enclosure. SHE WAS WALKING HER DOG IN A DOG STROLLER!!!! Okay, am I crazy or is the purpose of taking your dog for a walk to have both you & the dog get some exercise? I couldn't believe it, some people take having your dog be your "baby" to extremes! LOL!!!!!
