Fun in the Sun and Snow

We had a lovely reunion with Carl and Sarah and Brianna, as we had not seen them for nearly two years. They made us very welcome and we had a great evening chatting.
On Saturday, w woke to find that it was snowing again (abut 6 inches fell), but we braved the weather and went over the Hoosier Pass to Breckenridge to join in the celebrations marking the end of the ski season. We rode up the mountain to Peak 8 in the Gondola lift. Sally was very brave and made the journey as well (she actually enjoyed the views, but not the height).
The gondola took us right to the bottom of the ski slopes, so people were whizzing around us on their snowboards and skis. Sally and I sat on the big patio and had a hot drink, where we could see the antics of the Mascot Winter Olympics. All the local mascots came together for a bit of fun. There was the ski school mascot - Ripperoo, the Denver Broncos mascot - Miles, Dora the explorer (no ones mascot, but everyones friend), Beaver from Beaver resort, The Bird, from the airforce, The Easter Bunny and Bison, the local university mascot (?).
Well they all had fun running round the snowy slopes, showing off and high fiving and hugging lots of kids. It was a fun occasion, and you could watch lots of skiiers as well.
After this we had a wander round Breckenridge before a meal in Erics, downstairs.
Sunday we just hung out at the house, looked at photos, then Carl cooked a great Lamb roast, and we had Yorkshire Puds (no mean feat at 10700 feet).
We have had a great time.
