Weekend Trip

January 28, 2011:

Headed back up to Breckenridge and then Beaver Creek to ski and celebrate Bo’s birthday. I plan to rock the Birds of Prey. All of my little brothers seem to have problems keeping up with me, especially as they get older… ha.

Breck is hosting the annual International Snow Sculpture Championships this weekend and we should get a chance to see some of the creations (here are some pictures from two years ago). I’m looking forward to practicing some more with the helmet cam to capture all of the little shavers skiing. I think the next skill I need to work on is my video editing. I’m still a little sketchy on putting good clips together for a compelling mini-movie, but I’m working on it.

TV Stardom

February 25, 2010:

Uncle Kevin was on TV recently and I have to say, he couldn’t resist his inner urge to mock the fool doc who stabbed a nurse and committed various other indiscretions (see video) for… wearing a Hawaiian shirt and cowboy boots. Nice dig. Con and Cam loved the clip because of the reference to a scrotum – couldn’t stop giggling.

Snow Day!

Duke 2009
Snow up to Duke’s Back

The snow is still coming down!

So far, I would guess just under 2 feet of it. The snow is almost to the top of Duke’s back as he romps through it.

The kids have had school canceled for the last 2 days and are loving it.

Jen actually had to go into work yesterday but they let her come home early and canceled all of the appointments for today. So… everyone home today.

The kids are playing outside with the rest of the neighborhood and I have been busy shoveling. I’m sure I have a couple of more shoveling sessions before this evening. It’s good for burning off some of those beer calories.

I think tonight will be a good night for some warm dinner and a fire. We are all expected back at work/school tomorrow.

The LAX Outing

Lax Jam and Outlaws Game

Con, Cam and I spent the day at Mile High Stadium at the Outlaws “Mini Lax Jam”.

Con splitting the “D”

It was fun. Even the parents got to play a little ‘mini lax’. Connor and some of his lacrosse team buddies, Sawyer and Russel entered the jam as a team called, Panthers CRS (Connor, Russel, Sawyer). They had a great time playing on the same field as the professionals use (Outlaws for lacrosse and Broncos for football).

We ended the evening with some thunder showers and then professional lacrosse. The Outlaws played the Long Island Lizards. The Lizards can boast a few Duke Lacrosse players, Zach Greer, Matt Zash and Matt Danowski – who the boys idolize. We even met Danowski, who spotted Cam wearing his #40 Duke college jersey. He loved it. He called out to Cam, “Nice jersey” and walked over and gave Cam some knuckles. Cam and Con both were all smiles…
