Copper Mountain

This past weekend, my mom and the Bobcat treated us to a very nice time up in Copper Mountain. Pre-children, Scott and I spent a lot of time up there as it was our favorite place to ski. I had never really been there in the summer though and I have to say I like it even better. There is an unbelievable amount of things to do! The Bobcat and Scott played 36 holes of golf and I managed 9 each day. The back nine meanders through the woody area behind the Super Bee lift. It is quite amazing how they built this course right on the ski runs. Rowan also "played" the second day, consistently making good contact although I am pretty sure she does it all for the golf cart ride!

I was surprised and saddened by the very noticeable beetle kill on the pine trees everywhere. If they don't figure something out, I'm afraid the whole thing will go up in flames within the next 15 years.

Mom and I took a nice little walk slash bike ride with the girls. Tressin is really a character. She still doesn't say much, like anything (maybe the occasional mama) but finds ways to communicate nonetheless and has no problems letting her needs be known. Her personality is quite different than her sister's. Rowan has always been so cautious and Tress has no fear, or maybe its common sense.

It was a great time albeit too short! And the traffic coming down I-70 was horrendous! Now I remember why we don't go up much anymore.

Thanks again to Mom and the Bobcat!
