Beautiful Ouray on Christmas day...well.... weekend.



















Sara and I, and Devi, spent our Christmas weekend ice climbing in Ouray, Co. We opened our presents on Christmas eve and then got up early for the drive to Ouray. Even Devi had a few presents to open, a couple of which she couldn't wait for Christmas to open. Getting home from work a few days before Christmas I found pieces of wrapping paper spread around the room and two little plastic legs sticking out of one of her presents, ohhhh she looked guilty. The weather the first couple of days was very cold and snowy so the back country climbs we wanted to do weren't safe to climb. The last 2 days warmed up nicely and we climbed a bunch of routes in the man made ice park. A beautiful weekend, and a wonderful Christmas. We are enjoying spending time together while Sara's school break gets ever shorter.

Oh my goodness! My fingers ache with cold just seeing these! Hooray for people strong and brave enough to climb these.
I got a real kick out of Devi sneaking a peak at her presents. She's such a little kid at heart. How did she know not to open one of yours?

I think she could smell the plastic "toy" smell:) She just couldn't wait. Too funny!

That was awesome! The kids and I loved the videos. Very impressive. It was fun talking to you last night, once you stopped trying to eat the microphone. ;)
