Sunday, 3/20/11: Minturn Mile Adventure Team

The Munching Monkeys:

Maverick & Michael!!!

The Moyers' kids tried out their skills on the Minturn Mile today.

It was pretty tough, especially for little Maverick, who entertained us with a bunch of helicopter and snake-type of moves

to get himself out of being stuck in deep and heavy snow.

We still wonder how he did it!

Awesome job Mavy!!! :)

Michael, on the other hand,

enjoyed hopping up & down the many oopsy-doopsy bumps on the way to...

the NACHOS & CHERRY-COKE

down in Minturn!!!

Time for the adventure to start!!!

The Telly Trio:

Maverick (7 yrs), Michael (9 yrs) & Chris (tooo many!!) ;o)

I wasn't in the pic, because was taking it in my... alpine gear.

Michael hiking up Ptarmigan Ridge

Chris helping Maverick taking off his tellies.

It was really funny to see how quickly Mavy took off with Chris' poles

and started hiking up the ridge,

leaving "unhappy" Ratz to carry... 2 pairs of skis.

Ha-ha-ha!!!

Michael on the "hike for the promised nachos"

Proof the Wonder Duo made it up to Ptarmigan Ridge,

with Chris & Sarah

The Telly Trio and the Back Bowls of Vail

Michael getting ready for the ride down to Minturn

Yes!

I was there too & was able to finally be in a pic with the

Wonder Duo myself!!!

Maverick checking out a hole.

He said it was bigger than his ski pole!!!

(It really was pretty darn deep and straight down too!)

Same with Michelino

The kids found the remains of an elk

Maverick checking out the elk's spine

Proof we all made it to Minturn

Maverick's first question was:

"Sarah! But...

Where are the nachos?!?"

We took them to the Saloon for a cherry-coke and some chips & salsa,

while waiting for Todd & Steele.

I meant to take a picture of all of us with

the nachos, and cheese burger, and fries, and quesadilla, but...

I guess the margaritas made me forget.

Well. We're gonna have to do the Mile again,

so that we can take the final pic at the Saloon too!!!

Thank you again for the FUN DAY(s) GUYS!!!
