School Pictures

Here’s the school pictures for this year. Gavin missed picture day, so this slightly blurry one is my attempt.

And as always, their pictures for all of the school years are here.

Update 1/16/12: Added Gavin’s tennis picture.

Sophie’s first basketball game

Sophie started playing basketball this year, and today was her first game. She’s number 64. It was a real nail-biter. They rallied to almost tie it up in the last few seconds, but lost 10 to 8. Just launching the ball 10 feet up to the rim is a challenge for these little eight year olds. They really do a great job.

Update 1/16/12 : Added a picture.

Winter Park

On MLK day, Gavin and I spent the day snowboarding at Winter Park. Thanks for the day off Reverend King! It was snowing hard all day, and Berthoud Pass was closed so we couldn’t get home. We had to spend the night and enjoy the fresh powder the next day. Even after the second day, the pass was still closed for avalanche control work. We had to drive about 100 miles  out of our way to get home, but it was well worth it.  In a sad, related story, we found out later why the pass was closed for so long. They couldn’t start avalanche control because search parties were up there looking for this missing snowboarder in the back country.

Here’s some pictures…

…and a video.
