Mom and Dad will play!We've spent the last 4 days in majestic Telluride, CO. Avery and Kate are still back in Texas with Nana and DD, and I determined that it would not do our time here justice to try to combine it with a blog entry about all of the fun and adventures they've had as well. So, tonight: our trip. Tomorrow night: their adventures.
We've had amazing fresh powder skiing, unbelievable snowfall, gorgeous sights, and lots of relaxing. The best part of it all has been time with our precious friends, Adam and Erin.
I do not profess to be a skier, but with 3 supportive coaches, even I had some great success on the mountain. The mountain threw us a few loops, but in the end, we emerged victorious. Of note:
*My second time up the mountain, there were near white out conditions at the top of the mountain. It took a lot of gentle prompting from the hubs and a lot of God's grace, but we made it down.
*Day 3 of skiing, Adam, Erin and Jordan decided to try a blue route. However, the trail turned out to be ungroomed and with all of the powder, it was impossible to discern the route. They ended up having to hike back up the mountain in knee deep powder, for 10 minutes, in full ski gear, while carrying skis.
Other activities to fill our time included rousing games of Nerts, a verrrry cold trip to the hot tub (and a sad discovery that one of the hot tubs was not so hot), trips on the gondola into the town of Telluride and hours of great conversation.
We're happy to be heading home to our girls tomorrow, but so unbelievably grateful for the time we've spent here. God's majesty and the scope of His works are evident and spectacular in this beautiful town!
