Vail! and our snowman

We shoveled and built a snowman today. We will see how long he lasts with our 40 degree weather today.... We went to Vail on Tuesday here are our best powder shots.....me in the champagne glades
Me in "Steep and Deep"

Lover's Leap cornice

Jake's powder shots are always better than mine, can you say face shot....

My ice candle

My mom told me about making an "ice candle", a friend made one for her, so I tried it and it turned out great!
1. Fill a 5 gallon bucket with water and set outside (in MN or CO)

2. Let it freeze for about 18 hours - not frozen completely

3. Turn bucket upside down and pour water middle out.

4. Place a candle in the center and set outside on front walk.

Here's mine:

and here's a picture of Baxter's new favorite thing. Waiting for us to let him inside.... He hasn't started pawing at the door yet. So far so good!
