We surprised Brady with a weekend trip to the XGames at the end of January. He was so excited! He loves snowboarding, and of course all extreme sports, so we thought this would be perfect for him and we were right.
We left on Friday afternoon and headed towards Aspen. We stayed in Glenwood Springs because so many people had warned us that Aspen during the XGames was insane and they were right, you couldn't even find parking in town. Staying in Glenwood worked out perfectly because we were able to sneak to the hotsprings pool one evening after the events, very nice and relaxing, especially for Brian and I who were way too old and sore after standing on a mountain all day smelling the wonderful smells of a certain herbal cigerette that some people are fond of. :) Brady kept asking, Mom what is that smell? Ummm... yah.
Anyway, we had a great time and Brady texted Grandma from there that he was having "the best day of his life" so that made the costs of everything priceless. He was able to get Torstein Horgmo's autograph the morning after he won the gold (they won't let you take pictures while autographing though; rude, huh). So here he is holding the autographs; the riders were all incredibly nice. Although, Shawn White didn't autograph so he didn't get his favorite riders autograph, but did get to see him compete.
Who knows, this could be a tradition in the making...
Iam so glad you 3 got to do this trip together,and i know Brady had an amazing time. The only way it could have been better is----if gramma was with you!! Just kidding.
