Tubing

Kyle had Friday off of school for teacher in-service, and we had been wanting to go to this really cool tubing place. So we decided to go (we figure it would be less crowded on a weekday when others were in school). And we were right, there was hardly anyone there.

We went to Frisco Adventure Park. It is an hour and a half from Denver up in the mountains, just before Breckenridge. Its a place that you pay to use for an hour. They have tubes for you to use, they have a magic carpet (you stand on it and it pulls you up to the top of the hill), and there are 5 or 6 groomed runs. By the end of the hour, were were tired and ready to head home. Kyle had a blast and laughed the whole way down!

Monster Jam

On Feb 11th we went to Monster Jam. Kyle looks forward to this day 364 days out of the year. It was Grave Diggers 30th anniversary so they they had a special paint job and made a big deal of it. The trucks that were at our Monster Jam were super heros: Batman, Iron Man and Spider Man, they also had Monster Mutt (one of Kyle's favorite's), Monster Energy, and of course Grave Digger. Kyle said it was one of the best nights ever!

SNOW DAY!

We went to bed on Thursday expecting a bad snow storm. It was forecasted that schools would be closed, and we were hoping. We woke up Friday morning to about 6" of snow and school was closed. We had done our shopping the day before and had plenty of food. We just hung out, watched TV, and played Wii. When it was all over Sat. morning, we had almost 2 feet of snow (we measured 21" in our yard). It was the most significant snow fall in Denver in over 106 years!

I had just joined Pinterest and found this cool idea, snow paining. Kyle loved it. Here he is trying to figure out what he wanted to do. And then his finished work. This was after sledding and a birthday party so he was wiped out and didn't want to move in the snow too much.

Here are some pics that show how deep the snow was.
