March Madness-Olds Family style

March absolutely flew by. Tasha has officially moved to China. We spent the month helping her with her many to do lists. Her house is rented; she is moved out-stuff went to storage; lots of stuff was sold; the renters have moved in; Maverick now lives in Fort Worth with their old neighbors (and he is loving the adventure there); the Lexus and bicycles are at Kendyl's house; and Tasha has reclaimed her old bedroom at our house for when she/Curt are in the US. Makes you dizzy doesn't it? Anyway She is in route to Shanghai at this very moment where Curt will pick her up. Dan is traveling there in a few weeks on business, so he will be their first family guest at their apartment in Suzhou. You will have to read Tasha's blog/facebook to get the rest of the info.






We did sneak in another ski trip - this time to Breckenridge. We drove and Kendyl flew in because she is saving her vacation for other trips. We had a great time. This was the first time in many many years that it was just the four of us skiing together.


Here are some pictures from this trip.



















This is from the very tip top of the mountain looking down at Breckenridge..
It is a long way down. There is a new lift that takes you up, but you have to climb up the rest of the way.
This is for the Extreme Double Black Diamond skiers - Dan, Tasha & Kendyl slam-dunked it!
This is now supposed to be the highest ski run in North America (beat out A-Basin). They had a great time and there are stories to tell.

The Olds Daredevils at the top after the hike up and before their hair-raising decent to the bottom - not really but it was steep.















One story from this trip: We were all skiing together and usually Dan follows me down the mountain. This year HE had a hard time keeping up. It appears that I am now a much faster skier than he remembered, so he was dawdling around thinking he was letting me get a head start but when he looked up - he couldn't find me because I had already made it down to the lift.... My trip in January followed by this trip really improved my skill level. I am back to what I used to do when the kids were little. I bought new skis for next season, so I will have a learning curve.
More later - will try to post a short video from the trip as well. Will get some ranch pictures up soon too.
