Gone Skiing

We are currently on our way to Colorado to go skiing. Jon and I have been making this yearly journey for a few years now, and I made it for a few years without him before that.  Last year Avery made the trip with us but this year Avery is staying home and our friend Dick/Rich/Richard is coming with us. This will be Rich’s first trip to Colorado and I am sure he will have a great time. This trip is also another first, it’s the first time Jon and I have left Avery for this long, two nights has been the max that he has been without both of us and this trip will be 7 nights. I am not worried about leaving him, I know I will miss him and wonder what he is up to (that will be the worst part of the trip, worse then the drive across Nebraska) but I know he will be in good hands.  Avery will be staying with both sets of his grandparents (while Uncle J stays at our house with the dog and cat) while we are gone. It will be fun to get away and Avery always has a great time with his grandparents. But unfortunately the last few nights his teeth have been bothering making it hard at times for Avery to sleep, sorry grandparents......

It will be a few years before Avery joins us on the our ski trip, to actually ski that is, but that doesn’t mean we are getting him ready to love the sport of skiing. So here is a collection of Avery skiing related pictures before he can even ski.....
