Break 09 might be more appropriate! It was so nice to get a break for a couple of days and travel to Breckenridge, Colorado with friends. A huge thanks to Cam's parents for watching Harper all week long. If you know me you know how much I love change, especially a change of pace! Here is the view from our condo. 
The slopes
I am officially "old" I'm not sure when it happened but after a week in Colorado I came to that conclusion. I have been skiing a handful of times, the latest time being 2 years ago when I was pregnant. I was super careful and very paranoid as I skied with Harper in my belly. I really don't count that as skiing.... So we arive in Colorado and I am immediately out of breath! I was gasping for air going up and down the stairs. Can we say out of shape?? It gets worse, after catching the city bus (ski's in tow), riding the gondola to the slopes (ski's in tow), walking in ski boots to the lift, putting on my ski's , and at last skiing down the mountain....I was exhausted. I did this for 3 days and I was aching! The temperature was 1 with the windchill being -9! Brrrr!
Each day after skiing I would get my out of shape self into the hot tub and soak! I think that is what saved me each day. I only fell twice so I can't imagine what it could have been like. After a hour in the hot tub it was time for the games! Here is a picture of the group playing Uno....who knew it could be so much fun! Our friends added a new spin to it and it was soooooo much fun! (I bought it today at Wal-mart:))
