From powder to the pool

We left Breckenridge this afternoon after a final day of fantastic powder snow. On the last day of the ski season the snow gods blessed us with 8-12 inches of powder snow. It was very cold but we all got out at 8:30 and enjoyed a final morning skiing with our ski's buried in snow. Olivia was cold, James fell a lot - but we all had a great time. After 10 days of skiing the kids think ski holidays are "the best". We are now in Denver and tomorrow morning head to Hawaii. Eight days of lying by the pool is ahead of us - much as I loved skiing...I am also looking forward to some warmth. In case we had not had enough skiing, on the way in to Denver we stopped at the "outlet mall". We now have new ski jackets for Emma, James and Olivia. Olivia's is an age 14-16 jacket so she will be wearing it for a long time!! All amazing bargains - Emma got a Columbia Ski Jacket for $70 that would have cost $250 in Australia. more next week from Hawaii. Ken
