Colorado Trip Day 4 (Saturday 20, 2010)

Even though the family all woke up in different condos we all met together at Winter Park at 10:30 am. The assembled crowd was quite large and consisted of Aunt Mary Pat, Uncle Jerry, Shannon, Eddie (Shannon's boyfriend), Aunt Silvia, Uncle Frank, Veronica, Mom, Dever, Grandpa, and I. We all went up the Zephyr in pairs of fours to began our day skiing together. Some of you might be wondering why all most all of the family was assembled at a ski resort, well 1) Everyone in our family loves skiing or snowboarding and 2) It was my Grandpa's 80th birthday so he wanted everyone there. That was why we chose to come to Colorado at this time instead of earlier. We all went down some runs, together. Let me tell you it is NO small feat to try and keep 11 people together on a ski slope. Then we stopped for lunch at Sun Spot were we ate a delicious lunch to keep up our skiing energy. After lunch the restaurant brought out 4 gigantic brownies with candles on one. Then around 7:00 pm we went to the Devil's Thumb Ranch for a dinner, this time the assembled was Aunt Mary Pat, Uncle Jerry, Shannon, Eddie (Shannon's boyfriend), Kelly, Ryan (Kelly's boyfriend), Aunt Silvia, Uncle Frank, Veronica, Mom, Papa, Dever, Grandpa, Grandma, and I. Kelly and Ryan had just gotten into to the Mountains. Later that evening everyone came over to the Condo for cakes and presents. Juju helped Grandpa thank everyone for the presents. Everyone had a great time, Happy Birthday Grandpa!
