Brian and Amanda Lain

Last week, we went to Keystone, Colorado for a week of skiing! We were invited by a couple of friends to stay in a cabin on-site, and were able to walk to the lifts at Keystone. We skied and went ice skating at Keystone, skied at Vail, went tubing at Copper Mountain, and saw the snow sculptures at Breckenridge where participants compete to carve a 10x10x12, 20+ ton block of snow. All in all, an AWESOME vacation, complete with exercise, fresh air, and no injuries!!!


AWESOME view from Vail Mountain. Did I mention that we are building RIGHT HERE (once we become gajillionairres, of course)!!?!?!?!

It was only 5* – Amanda’s face is stuck like this.

Below are some pictures of Ciara and Miles out on our walks. Miles can’t quite keep up with Ciara yet, but by looking at the size of his feet, it’s only a matter of time before he leaves her in the dust!!

To finish out the old year and ring in the new, we went skiing on December 31, 2009. The weather was great (16* and sunny), the ski hills had snow (most of any ski resort in NM), and, miraculously, neither of us got hurt! Below is a picture of one of the ski hills, and two pictures of Brian cruising down the mountain at top speed!!!
