More Ski Views!

Like I stated in my earlier post, every time we I-chatted or texted I was reminding the family to take pictures! Luckily Amelia listens to me, that's my girl. I just love this picture below, definitely a neat perspective of the front of a restaurant.

Timbers Steakhouse

The ever shy Tyler!  AJ being silly and a wind burnt Kevin!

The bridge that crosses the river on property of the Alpine Lodge

I wish they had taken more pics on this bridge, but one is all I got! I won't complain.

Tyler comes down from the lift!

I love top of the mountain pictures. Since I don't ski, I never get to see it up there!

Yep, Chris on his butt!

Oh No!  Jaws has come to the mountains!!

Apparently, the lift operator is a budding sculptor ~ this is an 'igloo' work of art! I heard on the phone that there was a monster at the top of the mountain, but I thought it looked like jaws!

What's a ski trip without a fire and S'mores?

I figured we'd have the cabin that they did have. Remember, I was suppose to go on this trip. Amelia and AJ asked me to get makings for S'mores. So, I had. There aren't pictures of the S'mores, or the disposable marshmallow skewers, but they did make them :-) The trip was a complete success!

If I get a few spare hours, maybe I'll upload another video! Why it takes so dang long to upload a video I don't know! But hey, it worked!

Ski Videos

If this works there are 2 videos that Kevin shot while skiing.  They are short, but fun to watch.

Hope this works!

On The Mountain!

All my nagging paid off! I have a few pictures to prove they actually skied! Chris and Tyler learned how to snowboard though Tyler hated it and went back to skis! So below are pictures from the mountain. So glad the water camera is small and freeze proof :-) It was a good investment!

Up on top!  That is the upper lodge.

Oops!

Having fun, just look at that smile!

I will see about uploading video again. Maybe I can figure out how to make it work. I have a few more pics to share, day 3 coming soon!

Ski Trip Without Mom!

The date had arrived, it was time to go to Red River, however I got attacked with stomach bug. Perfect timing... Not!

Friday morning Kevin took the kids to school, Tyler had arrived from OKC, and Chris was at Tech finishing his classes and getting assignments for M and T. Amelia and AJ would be picked up right after lunch. The car was being loaded. However, I was in bed, I was NOT packing, I was NOT going to make the trip. Everyone was disappointed.
I laid in bed and told them where the snacks where, where the drinks were located in the garage and where the kids had left their suit cases. I made sure they got my cameras, batteries, chargers, made sure they didn't forget anything critically important, and they managed to get out of town by 2pm! I was on my own, except for the cats!

This is the only car pic, technically on the drive home! Oh well!

Through the miracle of texting I stayed in touch while they drove for a little while, but mostly I slept. The family arrived in Red River about 10:30 in the evening. Every chance I got I reminded them to take pictures! I got about 100! Kev did video while skiing, but I can't get video on the blog :-(

The cabin, Alpine Lodge, Red River

The front porch, HAD, I been there I would have been curled up reading here!

The living room!

Living/Dining room with the fire place!

Kitchen area

One of the bedrooms!

I think Amelia did pretty well getting pictures of the cabin for me! We stayed in this same cabin 3 years ago!

They had a great time, no broken bones, or sprained knees! Thank the Lord! That is why I don't ski.

Tomorrow, Mt pictures! I know you are anxiously awaiting!! Don't hold your breath!
