Skiing And More Snow

To all the faithful followers of the blog sorry for the delay of writing. January has been an eventful month. We returned home from Iowa to have a delay in Heathrow airport for 7 hours. People ask if we were suppose to fly through Heathrow and the answer is yes. We were lucky that we only had to delay for 7 hours. 2 days before the whole airport was shut down due to snow.

The rest of the month we spent skiing as many weekends as we could. Thank goodness it snowed and snowed for most of the month. One weekend we went to Oberstdorf, Germany. We spent a wonderful day with friends and a couple of gluvines. This mountain was a little harder than what we skied in Serfaus, Austria. I took Paige down a black mountain sort of. Dan said it was blue...NOT. Her ski ended up falling off on the way down and she slid down the whole run screaming and snow flying. I had to laugh as we picked up the carnage on the way down. To her credit she did ski down the rest of the way with her Dad's help. She spent the rest of the day skiing on the blue hill and having a blast. One little accident didn't hold her down.

The boys had a weekend on their own last weekend. Dan,Christian and 3 other friends went skiing in Innsbruck, Austria home of the 1964 and 1976 Winter Olympic Games. Christian said that it was probably a good idea that Paige and I didn't go. They skied hard. I kept hearing the same words from more than one person. Now that I hear stories of what happened I think it's best we didn't go. Christian was telling me how he was going off boxes and getting mad air. It was really "street". I saw some of the bruises and tired bodies during the week. Dan likes to say that a good time was had by all.

This weekend we were going to go to a local ski area but decided last minute Christian had too much of a cough to go. This did not sit well with him as you could imagine. Next weekend we are back on the slopes down in Garmisch. This is in Bavaria. Happy Valentines Day to us and Happy Valentines Day to you.
