Escape to Durango

This has become one of our very favorite places to visit. We love skiing. Ashton and Alyssa are becoming very good skiers, and it's getting harder and harder to slow them down. Abby did very well this year and went to the top of the mountain with us. She said "I don't like ski school because you have to stay in a line and I want to go fast!!" She made us all so nervous, she would just take off and fly down the mountain. No Fear!!





Mom and Dad took a try on the ski bikes. They loved them. Dad said it might be the only way they can keep up with the girls.

The snow was beautiful this year. Durango has had a record snowfall this year, over 21 feet. The house where we stay usually has just a little bit of snow around it, and this year we had to dig a tunnel to get out. The snow was over 8 feet high off the porch!!

Love the snow pictures!! We went for the first time last year and had a great time. The kids have been begging to go back. Do you get to go every year? We are on the downhill side of this school year. Looking forward to two weeks at the beach this summer. Can you believe Lydia and Ashton will be in the youth group next year and we will have Katelyn in high school. Paula and I were just talking about you the other day. They are in our small group at church now and we were spending the afternoon at the park. We both miss you so much. Here is my email joanbrock@mac.com. Tell Gretchen I said hello!!
Love ya,
Joan

Hey Kat!

The snow looks awesome. We got a little Texas snow storm the other day here, but only about 3 inches, LOL, we were so excited!!!

I can't believe how big the girls are!! Not to mention how beautiful they are!

I am now a blogger, as of today--hehe. I can't keep up with all the new ways to keep in touch with everyone!!

Take care,
Holly
