Happy New Year 2009

BONZAI !!!!!!!

First day of the season at Bogus!!! With 31 inches of new snow in the last 5 days, the call of the great white was just too irresistible. The great snow conditions were a nice compensation for the fog, slight breeze and 15F (-10c) temperature. Sid picked up right where he left off last year with some nice measured turns on blue runs while Colin was just out of control straight down the hill, BONZAI !!!

Ho Ho Ho.....

Guess what Colin and Sid received from Santa? Here is a hint: the Lego company is not going out of business any time soon...

Ho Ho Ho.....

Claus n Paws

Off we went to the annual "Claus n Paws" at the Boise Zoo. Today, Santa was just a fixture as Colin and Sidney were way more focused on the animals. Sidney was very impressed by the new giraffe, Julius Longfellow. Julius, a 3 year old male, is replacing Shingo who unexpectedly died last month. Luckily for Joseph, the other giraffe at the Boise zoo, a companion was quickly found and transported from Ohio in order to keep him company. It is very important for herd animals like giraffes to have a friend. Colin particularly enjoyed the Snow Leopard and the Red Panda. Here are the few photos that turned out.
