Vogellarosa Skydive

This year a handful of brave folks
(& me,) during Boulder's spring time rite of passage, Vogellarosa, added to the fun of sunshine, crawfish, beer, and an impromptu Kinetics, by jumping out of an airplane.  What a fun Weekend. 

May 2008
California

Paul & Michelle got married in San Francisco the end of May, so Jen & I enjoyed a long weekend of wine tasting in Napa, hanging with the Levi Crowd in the City and catching up with old friends in Marin.

Mar. 2008
McNamara Hut

Just a few miles outside of Aspen Colorado, we skied up a trail to a remote hut six miles into the Colorado Wilderness.  There we kept the fire going, most of the night, between melting snow into our cocktails.  

Oct. 2007
Shoot Out Boulder

The Shoot Out Boulder is a fast 24 hours of filmmaking where the team has to shoot the whole movie from 9pm Friday night, until 9pm Saturday night.  The top 10 are shown at the Boulder Theatre on Sunday night.  We made it.  See our film here. 

July. 2007
Lake Powell

We spent a week, wakeboarding every day, (even by full moonlight)  between drinking beers, excellent scenery and good people.  What a great way to burn up some summertime. 

May. 2007
Bolder Boulder

We ran the Bolder Boulder, one of the biggest 10Ks road races in the USA, on Memorial Day this year.

Feb. 2007
Butterfly Pavilion

We took the kids to the Butterfly Pavilion this month and they had a great time running around the warm humid rooms.  It was a nice break from Colorado's cold winter.

Dec 2006
Broomball

This year the pond wasn't frozen.  And the original night got rained out.  So halfway thru the week we put together an impromptu game at the CASA soccer fields. Game on!

Nov. 2006
Baja1000

If you haven't seen the best documentary this year, go rent "Dust to Glory" and watch it.  It inspired me to put together a team and go check out the longest continues off road race in the world last November.   

Oct. 2006
kids

Some black and white photos of the kids on CU campus early October 2006.

Sep. 2006
Badminton

The 5th Annual backyard badminton championships were moved to Mark & Hedi's pad this year.  This change of venue however didn't prohibit incumbent Hayes Redmond from winning another year.  At least he lost the slush cup.   

Aug. 2006
Longs Peak 

15 miles round trip up 5,000 vertical feet over half a day is a good long climb.  They named Colorado's most famous peak after a guy, but I think it should be named Longs because it takes so long to get up.  We summated at 9:05 am in the clouds.  I heard it has good views. 

May 2006
Kinetics 

For the first time in 5 years we didn't actually race a team for Kinetics.  Instead we brought a hot tub and just kicked back on the beach, listened to the music, drank beers, soaked up the sun, and watched the race.  

Feb. 2006
Honduras / Key West

We landed in Rotan Honduras for a little mid winter vacation.  We didn't get much rain, but we didn't get a lot of sun either.  After diving, drinking, and walking the beach, we flew to the Florida Keys for a few more days at the end of the week.  Here are the photos.        

Dec 2005
Broomball

A little bit of slush wasn't enough to discourage these hardcore broomball fanatics. We cleared off the pond, rolled Harcourt in the snow, and it was Game on!   

 Nov. 2005
Wakeboarding / Snowboarding

You have got to love going snowboarding on the weekends and then wakeboarding in-between.  Check out these photos and video from thanksgiving week in Colorado.      

Oct. 2005
Halloween

Pumpkin patches and costumes - here are photos from this years Old Hollow's Eve.   

Aug. 2005
Badminton

If a picture is worth a thousand words, then a 6 minute video is worth, well a lot more.  I did this in Adobe for WMV 9.  It turned out great, but download the whole file before you try and play it. 

June 2005
Lifetouch

Here is the latest family photo courtesy of the fine people at Lifetouch.  This was shot on CU campus in the spring.

2 pines no longer

We had to take out of the giant old pine trees from my front yard.  it was quite the ordeal, but in the end, one can't even tell there was ever a huge pine tree even there. 

Mar 2005

The day after Thanksgiving Boulder lit up the night.  Here are a few shots of the holiday lights from that weekend.  And also a few from Halloween.     

Bolder Boulder 2004
10K run !

May '04. 
I ran a 00:53:45 after running about a dozen practice runs before the Bolder Boulder.  The longest I had run before the race was just over 3 miles I think - because I never carefully timed myself or the distance.  I was just happy to break my goal of under 60 minutes. 

Parade and Race Day 2004
Kinetics!

April '04. 
This is my 4th year in Kinetics and the theme this year is the WEST aNILEators:  our sculpture/float is a huge mosquito, we took home some of the awards in the Race on May 8th and got filmed for HDNet.   

Silverton and Telluride
Extreme Skiing & Hiking

March '04. 
Shovels, probes, avalanche- beacons, guides, and a lot of hiking is the only way to ski Silverton Colorado.  The next day at Telluride at least they had chairs.   

Fall Solstice in Crested Butte
Vinotok!

Sep '03. 
Based on a smattering of Viking traditions and entirely fabricated, full-contact drinking ritual, Crested Butte's Vinotok festival is hands-down the best pagan ritual. 

Grand Lake & RMNP
Moose!

Aug '03. 
Yes that's a male moose we saw on the way back from Colorado's coolest alpine lake; Grand Lake just outside RMNP. 

Johnson ties the knot
Tahoe Wedding

Crested Butte to Aspen
Hiking to Aspen

Aug.'02. 
We're still not sure how many miles we hiked over the two days jaunt from Crested Butte to Aspen.  What we do know was that it was 8 miles from Conundrum Hot Springs down to Aspen on the 2nd day.  The 1st day took 4 times as long and was all up hill!

Cherry Creek
Water skiing

July.'02. 
Despite frequent wipe-outs with wake boards, knee boards and water-skis, beating the 95 degree heat was refreshing.

Jen and I got out of the snow for a week during the beginning of March for a little R&R in the tropical 'temptation' islands of Belize.

Copper Mountain
Cardboard Derby

Feb'02.

Winter Break - Jan '01
Costa Rica
Sunshine and beaches, warm water and Cervasses.  
Costa Rica had the weather.  Thanks to Jen's folks, we got frequent flyer miles down to Central America  this February.  It was the break we really needed! 

14er Climbing
On the Summit

Mid July we hiked through fields of wild flowers all the way to the summit of one of only two mountains on the continental divide - Mt Grays.  We camped the night before with Hayes & Jen and their nephew Alex.  The summit was the first time Jen, Charlotte, and Abby's had ever been on top of a 14,000+ foot mountain.

The 3rd Annual Vogellarosa saw some of the best weather ever.  Crawfish, beer, and sunshine at the lake.  A perfect weekend.  

May 2007
Mitchell House 

Two kids & a 'work from home' job is a tight squeeze in our little 1600 sq.ft. house in Boulder.  So we bought the old stone cabin next door and added onto it including a garage/office in the back.  It's been almost 2 years of city paper work and  architectural drawings, but we're in and almost done. 

Dec. 2006

The first weekend of December was a cold snowy one in Boulder.  But the family braved the wintry weather and picked out our Christmas tree.

Sep. 2006
Wooden Skis

When we bought the Mitchell house last fall, the owner threw in these old water skis he made himself.  He skied them behind an old finishing boat in the Boulder Reservoir 50 years ago.  We dusted them off and gave them a try in fall of 2006.

Part Vogel and part De La Rosa, this Cajun flavored crawfish boil combo went thru 7 kegs and a few hundred pounds of crawfish.  All between wakeboarding runs on the Boulder Reservoir.

Winter Park
Spring Splash!

Apr. '02. 
The end of the ski season in Colorado culminated at Winter Park with the Spring Splash.  More than half the contestants didn't make it across the pond.  Those of us that managed to keep upright were slightly disjointed that the coarse didn't allow for enough speed to ski out the other side.  But it still made for awesome photos.

Poaching Flagstaff
Mike Johnson and I didn't find out it was illegal to roller blade down the steep Boulder parks road called Flagstaff until the ranger yelled at us from the bottom.
