Week 7

This week was excellent. Monday was bland, but on Tuesday AND Wednesday Dad & I had our first TWO snow days. So to utilise our time we decided for our first day that we'd go bowling at the Lafayette bowling alley (now that Mum has her group sessions on Mondays). I won overall. If we'd known that we were going to have a second snowday, we might have gone travelling or up to the mountains. Nonetheless, on Wednesday we all went to Denver for a go at the shooting range only to find out, after a lot of time spent driving, that they'd left the thermos too low so the pipes were frozen and the shop closed. Due to the circumstances we were left with no alternative but to do some shopping, and I finally managed to get a phone. Thursday & Friday were normal school days. On Saturday us and the rest of the CITEL group went and watched a big ice hockey match, which the Denver Avalanche lost 3-0. Afterwards to cheer up the adults we drowned our sorrows away. I was very cautious, as we were in (what I thought was) a bar, and right next to our table was a group of cops! We later found out that there was a big La Crosse game on in the same stadium, so couldn't resist. Once again our team, the Denver Mammoths, lost 10-9. We caught the bus home after our double-defeat. The snow was very heavy and we (Dad, Mum and I) stood scraping off the ice and snow from the windows of the car. A very lazy Sunday. We had planned an excursion to Eldora ski slopes but withdrew due to the extreme conditions. Today was also a lazy night; dad is at racquetball, mum and I watching 'House'. The highlight was definitely the big games, which are sooooooo brutal; people hitting each other, slamming into the walls. This week is also big. Mainly due to the Denver Nuggets Basketball game on Thursday Night; We might actually win one. Here's some pics from the games:
