a post from Coop!


"Cooper here! I have a story to tell you. This is how it happened:
Me and Kate were outside having a snowball fight. Three other people joined in. And so it kinda got a little crazy. Then all the kids starting throwing snowballs at the grownups at the bar. And so, that's how it started to go for awhile. Then, a giant clean up truck came up on the snow and almost killed us. And so everyone ran to the bottom of the bar and some went in the middle of the circle. Then, a girl was just standing there and I asked her 'who's side are you on?' and she said, 'I'm not playing.' Then I said, 'Prove it, give me your snowball.' So she gave me the snowball. And she said not to throw it at her or else! So, I threw it at her. I ran back and I turned around. And a snowball came flying out of nowhere. And it hit me straight in the eye! And that's how I got my black eye. Here's a picture."
(although, it's not very black! ~sg)


Hello from Sunny Red River!
Elizabeth and Cooper, Dee Dee and Pop and I are taking the day off after 3 full days of skiing!
Greg has ventured off with Kate and Jack for some skiing and snowboarding in Angel Fire...and possibly some night snowboarding for Jack with his friend Dillon.
We've had a great trip...not as much snow as last year, but blue skies, gorgeous weather and friends! The Bell family (Bobby, Carolyn, Bradleigh and Addy) are in Taos this week and came over the last two days to ski. The kids all had a blast together and it was so much fun to ski with them, have lunch at the warm up hut, and spend time catching up at the Lift House after two long days of skiing. Enjoy the pics below!
