Cameron's birthday!

Happy Birthday Cameron!!!

Well the day has finally come.. double digits! Cam was so excited that he woke up singing Happy Birthday to himself! Here are some pictures of him over the years.. what a cutie!

Park City

So we heard about an event sponsored by Visa being held this last weekend. All the competitions were free to the public so we headed off to check it out. The top athletes in the world were there. We watched aeriels, moguls, and the half-pipe event. Andrew and Cameron got lots of autographs... the competitors were all so nice! Andrew talked to the number 1 aerielist in the world and also to the 2006 Olympic gold medalist. It was SO much fun! The kids loved it (well, the boys did, Rachael was not feeling very well... she mostly slept and whined!) Here are some pictures and videos... The event should air on NBC February 8th if you want to check it out!

Something I loved about it:
We were right there, up close and personal! We were so close that when they skid to a stop at the bottom of the hill or at the end of the run we got sprayed with snow! The boys stood at the edge of the half-pipe.. the athletes were doing tricks in the air above them.. that is cool! The athletes were right there, you could talk to them, get pictures, etc...


Something I did NOT like:
For the aerial event we had to hike to the top of the mountain! I am sorry but I am not in shape.. I know, I know, I should be.. but I am not. I thought I was going to pass out by the time we got to the top! They have lifts for the "credentialed" people and "paying spectators" (hey, only $80 per person).. the lifts are there and running.. let the poor people ride them for heaven's sake!!!

Overall... LOVED IT!!

We heard that the snowboarders are doing a similar event in Park City in March. Shaun White should be there... it will be the top 30 snowboarders in the world. As you can imagine, Andrew is already pushing to go to that event!
