sledding!

yesterday, saturday, i met up with my best friend in the world, mary ellen, in breckenridge, co. she her family was staying in boulder with her husband's cousin and his family. anyway, those families wanted to take their kids sledding in the beautiful mountains, so they trekked to adorable town of breckenridge and asked me to come along. i obliged.

the 1.5 hour drive was pretty easy and very beautiful. unfortunately, driving myself, i couldn't take many photos, but i did what i could.



i arrived in the area a little early, so i dropped into the outlet malls in silverthorne, co about 10 minutes outside of breckenridge. what can i say, i'm filipino. i can't pass up the opportunity to go to an outlet mall! then, i met up with team cavazii and extended family. we ate a bit and then went SLEDDING! oh my goodness, what fun! who knew that sliding down ice could be as exciting as it was!? and i can't believe that kids actually get to grow up doing this. seeing snow for the first couple of times has been the most amazing thing, but it seems like nothing to everyone else here. i mean, people i've spoken to said that they were excited for the first snow of the season, but it seems like it should be the most exciting thing of the year! as i said before, my heart was pounding with excitement and joy when i saw the first snow falling, and honestly, i haven't felt that way in years.

anyway, i was super happy to slide on ice and make snowballs with my bestest friend and her family :) here are some remnants of our day









thanks to danny cavazos for the past 4 photos :)

ok, now i'm still tired from yesterday. snow makes you tired! who knew? you know what else makes you tired? a 3 hour drive that was supposed to take 1.5 hours. yeah, traffic going home was that bad. and now i gotta keep studying. big first test in 2 days! eeeeek
