Outdoor Lab Education at Mt. Evans Camp. A week long overnight camp for all 6th graders in Jefferson County. Our school, Prospect Valley, had the camp to themselves since there are so many 6th graders... @ 75. Temps started out in the low single digits but by the end of the week it warmed up nicely to the mid 30's. A great time and good learning experience was had by all. (I, Barb, remember going when I was in 6th grade. I went to the the Windy Peak Camp though.)

HAPPY 2011 !

Here we are at Arapahoe Basin Ski Area on the first day of the new year. Rob is in the middle with Mitch and Dean. Myra is taking the picture and I am off to the side enjoying the amazing view. Top of the rockies, top of the world!

What a way to start the new year... @ 11,000 feet above sea level with a -11 degree windchill temp on 01/01/11 !

Christmas with Grammy !

Rob's big gift was a new amp, which he immediately had to demonstrate for us.

And, the rarely seen, a picture of all three of us!

Are these Santa's elves at his workshop???

Well, technically they don't have pointed ears but they are definitely helping. This is the Wheat Ridge Optimist group and Boy Scouts wrapping toys for good little girls and boys. Sometimes Santa can't reach everyone and needs a little help. This is where this group comes in. Packages are wrapped, clothing store gift cards are slipped in and finally to top it off, a generous food certificate in placed on top so each family can have a nice Christmas meal. Then, boxes are delivered to the families... oh to see their smiles and appreciation.

No Scrooge here!

Class Christmas Party. Smiles all around.
Of course, this is also the last day of school until January 5, 2011.

The 5th and 6th grade concert. Five 6th grade kids played 'Don't Stop Believin' by Journey (2 guitars, 1 bass, 1 on the drums and 1 on the keyboard). Very impressive. Nervous at first, it quickly passed and Rob was totally in the game.

After the concert, a group
