Scary as giant horse outside Denver Airport.

A friendly farewell from America?

I think so.

"Which one are you eating Lexa?"

*hand gestures at the page*

"How will you eat them all?"

"ONE BY ONE."

Flawless logic really.

Corner Main St and Fourth Ave in Frisco.

It's been a grey day here but sadly no snow.

Ready to come home now.

There's American Football on the TV. I don't approve. The fire is nice though.

Sadly overexposed, but an awesome tradition.

The entire time that we have been in Colorado, wherever we've skied, people have related the same story. Today we finally got to experience it. If you ever go to Beaver Creek, you must make sure that you are at the bottom of the Gondola just before 3pm. At exactly 3 o'clock, the doors swing open and chefs carrying sliver platters, hand out chocolate chip cookies.

Apparently every year there is a bake off to pick the following season's recipe, I don't know about that, but the cookies we had today were straight out of the oven and oozing chocolate everywhere.

Sadly my exposure skills were massively lacking, but still - photographic proof that this did and does happen. If you're ever in the area you have to check it out, word is that if you are there for the 0830 lift, they hand out hot chocolates too!

The Elk was lonely so Dad gave him a hug.

BEAVER TAILS!!!

Our very first Beaver Tails! Sooooo bad for you but the best thing that I have eaten whilst here (... well, one of the best - the burrito's were choice), we had the peaches and cream one and the cheesecake one. We may get savory ones before we leave....
