Pictures taken with my Fuji FinePix 4700 Zoom digital camera.

There was snow outside the Amarillo airport when we got there. L-R: William, Pooh, me, Eileen.
Eileen treks thru some previously untouched snow.
That is the awesome MashiMaro car accessory thingy that Pooh and Eileen got me for X'mas, along with a Pineapple Pooh I'd gotten for him a while back. I promptly re-confiscated MashiMaro before I returned to Cali. =)
Here we are by an EXTINCT volcano. L-R: me, William, Pooh, Eileen.
Richard proves me wrong in that the word "extinct" is used to describe volcanos. I lost in the amount of one back massage.
Eileen and I have fun making the Paws family look like thugs.
Pooh in deep sleep. So cute! =)
A McDonald's that lets you order stuff without talking to a real live person, somewhere between Amarillo and Denver.
Waiting for the other half of our group to get to Wahoo's (Denver), we ran around trying to bomb each other with snowballs.
Still waiting. In between snowballs. L-R: William, Eileen, Pooh, me.
Eileen and I mercilessly attacked poor Pooh where he was most vulnerable.
Finally inside Wahoo's. This is a bench made up entirely of snowboards and stickers. L-R: Eileen, me.
Eileen tries to kill snowflakes with her tongue.
When we went to pick Hugh up at the airport, we wanted to make sure we didn't have to circle around again, so Eric drove SUPER SLOW - 6 mph baby - the proof is on the speedometer. =)
Eileen helps to ladle out the soup that master chef Hugh made. L-R: Hugh, Eileen, Patti, Pooh.
More soup ladling action. L-R: Hugh, Eileen, Patti, Pooh.
Eating like kings and queens thanks to master chef Hugh. Patti is caught in the middle of spooning soup from bowl to mouth. L-R: Jessica, Eric, Patti.
More people devouring the feast. Clockwise from bottom left: Minh, Gilbert, William, Kelly.
Me with my face half-frozen on top of Peak 8 on the Solitude trail (black diamond - steep with moguls!).
Me looking REALLY miserable atop Solitude. After this one, I gave up on blacks and relaxed on blues and blue-blacks.
Me trying to defrost in the Peak 9 restaurant while eating my lunch snack.
Man, I swear my mouth looks purple.
The 3 bears. L-R: Pooh, Santa Bear, Grizzly (Hugh).
A sign I saw in a store. I learned that "Hippies" is a brand name.
I thought I'd activated the timer. Evidently not.
OK, this time we were ready. Boyz in da back, L-R: Hugh, Minh, Eric, Pooh, William, Gilbert. Ladiez in da front, L-R: Kelly, Eileen, Jessica, Patti, me.
Patti lays across 65% of the picture.
Nature sure is awesome. Check out that snow blowing off the tops of the mountains. L-R: William, Hugh, Pooh, me, Eileen.
We went nuts in the funky ski/snowboard hat shop before heading back to TX. 3 faces of Caroline: Happy Face Caroline, Blonde Marge Caroline, Viking Braid Caroline.
3 faces of Hugh: 3rd Finger Hugh, Fish Head Hugh, and Toaster Ready Hugh.
Bob Marley Pooh shakin' it up with Bob Marley Eileen. 2 other faces of Eileen: Fuzzy Yellow Eileen, and Super Fuzzy Pink Eileen.
William shows his wild side (and perhaps his transvestite side) with 5 faces! Clockwise from bottom left: Gem William, Pirate William, NASA William, Kid Rock William, and Prostitute William. By the way, we didn't buy anything at this store. Are we cheap or what? =)
I am such a tourist. This is a dinosaur we spotted beside a gas station. [shrug] L-R: Hugh, me.
The shadow of the car and roofrack on the highway leaving CO.
Pooh thinks he is cool wearing his goggles in place of sunglasses. You can see some snow on the side of the highway.
Pooh turns around for a full shot of him in his goggles. That truck looks Photoshopped, hehe.
For this series of cloud pictures, I stuck my head and camera out the open window of a 80+ mph car. I had to! Cool cloud formations! =)
Pooh called them "UFO-like clouds".
Yes, I risked the lives of me and my camera for 3 whole shots of blue sky, neato clouds, and bits of snow.
Finally in Amarillo, we hit the Big Texan restaurant for dinner. There was a live band that went around to all the tables and played country song requests for tips.
The food arrives. None of the carnivores among us have the guts (nor appetite) to try the "Get a 72 oz. steak for free if you can eat it in an hour" challenge. =) L-R: William, Eileen, Pooh, me.
Pooh kicks the Big Texan bear in the balls a la AdCritic.com. =)
Us standing outside the gaudy Amarillo tourist spot. Clockwise from top left: William, Pooh, Eileen, me.
On my way back to Houston: the floor of the restroom at Dallas Love Field Airport. Get it? =)
Back to home
