Winter Retreat

Once again, for the same post with bigger pictures, visit travislundphotography.blogspot.com.... :o)

Last weekend was CU-Boulder's Graduate Christian Fellowship winter retreat. We had a really awesome time hanging out with a bunch of cool people at a sweet cabin near Winter Park....

Roasting s'mores...











One of those ball-rolling puzzle games... in this one, though, you had to get the colors in the right places. Eva-Lynn was a natural....





Saturday afternoon we headed out with a group to go snowshoeing...








Eva-Lynn had the idea of making a huge drawing in the snow, oriented so that it would be visible from the cabin (at the top of a hill).... here's her scale model of our stick figure. We named him Art. :)



Nate, standing at Art's adam's apple.



And the final product, viewed from the cabin. See him?

Will You Be Mine?

We had a really awesome, fun-yet-relaxing Valentine's Day weekend this year....

We kicked it off by sleeping in until noon (ok, until after noon... sleeping in is one of our rare pleasures...), followed by some very specially shaped pancakes, courtesy of Chef Lund. (Hint: not me.)

Proving that she really knows her game-geek husband, Eva-Lynn got me a sweet board game for Valentine's Day.... We'd recently played a related game, India Rails, with some friends, and we both really liked it. Hence.... Australian Rails!

You get to draw right on the game board with dry-erase markers. Very cool.

(Incidentally, I proved that I really know my wife by giving her gift certificates to buy herself lots of CLOTHES for Valentine's Day. And by helping her track down her favorite only-available-between-Valentine's-Day-and-Easter candy. I'm the MAN. :)


Sunday morning we headed up to Eldora (a nearby ski resort) for a very successful "first" day of snowboarding for Eva-Lynn. She had been snowboarding once before, but it was years ago, in Oregon. This was her first trip with me, in Colorado.... and she did great!!! I was very impressed. :)

First time up the lift!



Umm, so, we can take this green run, or that green run.... hmmm, they're all green....








Sunday night we visited my brother's church, and finished off another game of Australian Rails. In the end, we had a really awesome weekend together. Sorry, guys.... hate to tell you, but I've definitely got the coolest wife on the planet. In your FACE! :)
