Spring break is always one of my favorite weeks of the year. Whether its laying on a beach or skiing in the snow I love having no school and I love spending time with my family and friends even more J This year brought a trip to Colorado and I got to bring my sweet friend, Katie! Let me back up…Friday night brought the Houston rodeo! Michelle and I wanted to show our roomies from Chicago what a Texas rodeo looks like. We saw all the cows, pigs, chickens, etc. and they even ate some Texas sausage (I stuck to my chicken strips). We watched all the cowboys during the events, with our favorites being the calf scramble and mutton bustin’. The evening ended with a great performance from Lady Antebellum.
Saturday was the looong drive to CO, but well worth it once we got there. The week consisted of many runs down the mountain, multiple hours of family game night/random card games, two cute snowmen, lots of laughter, a blast through the past with homeward bound, a great tubing hill, wonderful views, hours of big bang theory, great “breaks” halfway down the slopes, good conversation, hot tub time, a snowboarding lesson, and a broken wrist.
I would love to tell you that I was doing something really exciting or daring when it happened, like perfecting my backflip off the jump in the terrain park but I wasn’t. I was just taking a lesson and fell the wrong way. My instructor told me it wasn’t broken so I waited a while to go to the medic but it was in fact fractured and I had it re-broken or set back in place. My mom’s comment to all of this was that we are taking a cruise next year! I couldn’t ski the rest of the week but I had fun doing other things such as shopping in Breckenridge. Here is the before and after.
We got back to LJ and I got to have breakfast with my two best friends, which was exactly what I needed. Overall Spring Break was great! Sorry for the long post and so many pictures; I have a pretty slow week school-wise J
