It was a beautiful snowy day on Wednesday.  We went sledding after dinner when it wasn’t crowded.  Then the kids finally got their wish of a snow day.  School was canceled due to the roads and the very cold temperatures. 

Went to Barr Lake to see the Bald Eagles that have stopped by on their migration South.  There must have been at least 50 of them around the lake.  It was amazing to watch them fly around looking for fish in the lake and see them so close perched in the trees.  They have a pair that nest there year round.  The nest is massive in size even from far away.

We did a day of skiing at Eldora and the kids did fantastic.  They spent the morning in a lesson then we took them on the hill to practice some more.  Looks like we will be going back very soon to ski again!  This is a great place to learn.

We received an unexpected amount of snow Monday morning.  They were calling for a dusting and we got over 3 inches.  It took everyone by surprise, even the schools because there was not a delay.  The storm arrived around 7:00 am and it just kept snowing until about 11:30 am.  We were all so happy to see it!
