Camping - Eisenhower State Park

 
This past weekend, Josh and I went camping with our friends, TJ and Allison. We went up to Eisenhower State Park on Lake Texoma. On Friday night, we explored around by the lake a little bit and hung out. On Saturday afternoon, Josh and I rented a pontoon boat and went out on the lake for a few hours. We tried fishing some, but we weren't getting any nibbles (found out later that the game warden said all the fish were in the deep water), so we just enjoyed the wonderful weather on the lake. We decided to cut our trip short by a night since it was super windy (and getting windier) and we didn't sleep good on Friday night due to the wind. We had a great time camping and catching up with Allison and TJ and we'll definitely go back to Eisenhower State Park. It was a great place to camp!

Mavs Game

A couple of weeks ago we were given tickets to the Mavs game and took our friends, Russell and Katie, with us. We grabbed a quick dinner before the game and then enjoyed a great game even though the Mavs lost. As always, it was great to spend time with them and we had lots of fun.

Eat, Sleep, SKI

Last weekend, Josh and I spent the long weekend in Keystone, CO skiing. We left on Friday morning and were on the slopes by Friday afternoon. Luckily Keystone has night skiing, so we were able to stay on the slopes later than at most places. It took us a while to get our feet back under us since it's been a few years since either one of us have been skiing (not to mention how much different Colorado skiing is than New Mexico skiing), but by the end of the weekend, we were skiing greens, blues, and even a black!

We made it to the slopes!

On the lift

On Saturday night, we got to meet up with our friends, Kasey and Jake, for dinner. They live in Colorado Springs and it was so great to see them!

This is a BBQ place on the mountain. It is at the bottom of Dercum mountain (the main peak at Keystone) and North Peak and the only way to get to it is to ski to it!

Sunset on the mountain

This is the view from our condo. We were just a few steps from the base of the mountain and ski lifts!

 

 

 

We might get a little goofy on the mountain...

I can't let him have all the fun!

 

We drove past the Continental Divide on our way back to Denver.

Josh was a little nervous driving on the narrow winding mountain roads. I just took pictures!

 

We had a great time in Colorado and can't wait until our next ski trip! Anyone want to go with us next year?!
