Crested Butte!

Last weekend we headed over to Crested Butte for a kid-free weekend to ski (oh yes,...and fish) with the Nielsen's.  It was super fun to meet up again, listen to the guys talk dentistry like ol' times, oh and can't forget the fishing talk, and let us be goofy girls. 

Night 1 - Brent and Tyson gearing up to go fishing at the Taylor River.  If you know anything about Brent or the Taylor, you'd know that he's a die-hard fly fisherman these days and the Taylor River is one of the best in the world.  So he's getting Tyson hooked on it.  Only problem is that every time Tyson goes, they pretty much get skunked on the fishing!  Oh and the fact that 3 a.m. is the best time to fish is just slightly inconvenient! :)

 Sexy, aren't they?

Day 2 - Skiing at Crested Butte

It was a fun day! Us girls stayed on the greens, and even got brave and went down some blues, while the guys pretty much ditched us and headed for the blacks all day.  There was a lot of snow, but it was quite icy, so it made it quite interesting for the inexperienced skier like myself.

Love the views!  This place is absolutely breath-taking!

I'm looking like a cancer patient all over again! Not liking it so much!

I'm thinking that he's thinking he overdid it...he's just a little bit crazy!

Day 3 - Giving the girls a tour of the Taylor River.  I really wanted to see what all the hype was about, so on our way out of town, I got my chance.  It is quite pretty up this canyon.  When we got to the good-fishing part, there were a ton of fisherman there and you could see some pretty big fish in the river. 

Tyson really thought he was going to throw a line in real quick and snag one. Not so much! In the excitement of watching the fish, we found out our babysitter and kids were locked out of our house, which provided a whole new level of excitement, although not one that we wanted.  We ended up having to hire a locksmith to get them in.  And with that, it was time to go home! :)
