Just a quick update on the weekend we had. Mostly cause it was a pretty good one. Friday night we had dinner at the Empire, always a good time. One of the FF's on the department runs the joint. Then we headed home to watch a video of the Red Bull Soap Box Race. Red Bull has a company put together a DVD of the whole thing. Emily and I had a pretty good time watching the video.
Saturday we got up and cleaned up the house up a bit. Then James and Hillary came over and we headed up to the Brainard Lake Receation area to do some snowshoeing. We hiked about a mile out and a mile back on the Sourdough trail from Brainard Lake Road. The snow was pretty good and the weather was beautiful. James didn't have waterproof pants on, I say "on" cause he has them he just wasn't wearing them. So his pants got all wet. I loaned him my extra pants so he could finish the hike. Emily had to loan Hillary a coat for the hike as well. These things happen when you don't start from your house. We had a great time. The picture below us at the turn around point.
We all came back and had a nice dinner together at Old Chicago's. It was a good time for sure. Then Emily and I went over to some friends of ours to hang out for a bit, then headed home.
Sunday we got up and made some breakfast, Chocolate Chip Waffels. Emily and I went for a bike ride. Emily got out on her Mountain Bike for hte first time since her shoulder surgery. We road about 10 miles or so. Oh, yeah it was very nice out, we were in shorts and shirt sleeves for the ride and we worked up a pretty good sweat. We also saw a pair of Bald Eagles resting in a tree together. We have seen them in the area previously and I think they are a pair. We're on the look out for the nest! We also got the Christmas lights down, finally. Pretty much the reason for living here on the Front Range. We are loving it out here!
Then we settled in to watch the AFC Championship game and update the Blog!
Thanks for checking in and thanks for all the emails and comments. We love to hear them!
