Jackie "Picaboo" Schrader




Well ski adventure #2 was a success in that she is willing to even miss school (and risk the perfect attendance mark she always shoots for) to go back soon!! Didn't think she would ever want to ski again, halfway down the first run but then a little encouragement and help from dad plus remembering her instructor's advice from lessons last year she took off. 11 runs later we had to explain that the lifts were closing that is why she couldn't do another one. Plus Ma & Pa were wiped out! She has mastered the wedge and is ready for some more lessons and/or advice - uncle Pat & Mike. So to explain the ski & swim to those of you down under that seemed confused on my last email - We went to Glenwood Springs stayed in town, skied at Sunlight (about 20 minutes out of town) then went to the Hot Springs pool to soothe our muscles. I've included a picture off of a web site of the pool because it was around 25 degrees and I was not about to get out and take a damn picture. Plus there was so much steam, it wouldn't of come out very good. The ski pictures are from the video camera so they are not as clear, should have more from the disposable camera next week. So now we are back in Arvada where the temp is currently 64 degrees. Life is good.
