Copper Mountain

Fred and Joan at the top of Copper Mountain. Unfortunately Vicki fractured her ankle within the first part of her lesson the day before and was out for the rest of the weekend.

Copper Mountain x2

It was back to Copper Mountain this weekend. Tearah and Gardito tried snowboarding - both signed up for a lesson. Unfortunately Tearah fractured her wrist near the end of the day. The orthopedic surgeon that happened to be on our shuttle back to the parking lot took a look at the x-rays and assured her it was minor and would be fine in a couple of weeks. But she does have to wear a bright green cast. We stopped at Tommyknocker Brewery in Idaho Springs on the way back - good mussels.

Denver Restaurant Week - Vita

Denver Restaurant week was extended a week. I tried Vita up on the north side of town next to another restaurant I really like, Lola. The highlight of the dinner was the dessert, Banana infused bread pudding with almond ice cream. I'll have to go back in the summer when I can sit outside and enjoy the view.

Swimming

I'm taking a swimming class 2x/wk at the Lone Tree Recreation Center. This picture actually is the pool - you can't see the swim lanes to the far right. The instructor writes out different workouts and gives us drills. It's been so long since I've done organized swimming. I really enjoy it.
