These are just a few snapshots of what we did on our getway to celebrate our 5 year anniversary last week. Ken's parents have a cabin at Castle Mountain Ski Resort and we have discovered that making use of this cabin any season is awesome. There is so much to do and see! We dropped the kids off around noon on Weds. at Grandma and Grandpa's house and headed to the mountains. This picture was taken at Frank Slide. We bought matching rings in the interpretative center. I had been thinking about getting Ken a ring to replace his wedding band that he lost on the soccer field 3 weeks after we were married. This was a very cheap alternative. I told him he has to prove to me that he can take care of a cheap one before he gets a more expensive one.
In the afternoon we sat on the back deck that faces the ski hill and enjoyed the sunshine. Can't get any better than that!
We then hopped on Dad's quad and went for a ride into the mountains. This poser pic is for my cousin Daniel ( a bit of an inside joke).
This is a picture of Frank Slide. In the early 1900's a piece of the mountain collapsed and tumbled down into the town of Frank killing approx. 70 people. Huge chunks of rock are everywhere.
After we enjoyed steaks, fresh mushrooms, garlic bread and potato salad we headed down to the creek to have a fire. I was quite on edge and unsure how to position myself around the fire to keep watch for bears. Once Ken told me that bears are scared of fire I couldn't get close enough to it!

I love your comment to Ken about the ring!! The Frank Slide area is really amazing. You could so easily scrapbook this trip with your posts as the journalling, you know ;) Off to read about day #2!
