Day #2 of skiing

We decided we needed another picture of all of us without helmets on :)

Turned out pretty good I think :)

A little bit more windy, and not quite as warm, but still super nice conditions.

I wanted to feel super relaxed, but as it turned out, it took me 1/2 the day to get my feet under me again. Not sure what happened, I believe I was thinking about it too much.

amazing.

Barb & Jeanette

We split up that morning and Jeanette, Barb & Jill took a trip down Hallelujah. The special part about this run? Barb & Gail hiked this run in the summer and spread Ron's ashes here. Jill making an R in honor of Ron.

"Hi" Uncle Ron! :D

Lunch at the bottom of the mountain today... Jody looking at pics on Jill's phone :)

Jody doing a run through the trees :)

And then pretending to run into them :) Her kids were so worried that she would run into a tree! Funny pictures for them to make memories with ;)

Little do they know that their mama is a fabulous skier and never in her wildest dreams would she run into a tree! ;)

Sisters in black again :D

Not super easy to get into the position on the middle of a run!

We skid down to the middle of the mountain to check out the live music! Like our 'classy' drinks??? ;) They thought brother, Chrissy would approve!

Can you see the half-pipe? Shaun White practiced on this half-pipe before the Olympics!

Super cool village with shops... we walked around in our boots to see a few of them.

Grammy found a new hat for her super-cool new ski coat!

I did it! I managed to get my phone out of my pocket and take this picture :) and NOT drop the phone, or stop breathing! That's Jill, Jody & Aunt Barb ahead of us.

Jeanette, Jody, Barb & Gail

Our last run down... and we headed in. What fun it was!

Showered, packed and headed back down the mountain to Barb's house.

Jill rode with Maggie this trip :)

That night at dinner...

love, love, love!

Jill loved this wine...

That night after dinner, in honor of Jill's 40th, a bottle of Ron's, Mary Edwards was opened...

it wasn't bad ..

and got better the more sips they took! ;)

Such a wonderful and special trip that I was so thankful and honored to be a part of.  A million thanks over to Barb who sponsored this trip ... words cannot express how amazing it was. Cheers to your 40th, sister Jill! Love you much!!!
