Bodie is 11
Bodie turned ELEVEN last week and all he wanted for his birthday was a trip to Steamboat for some skiing. We have IKON passes and a place to stay, so the airfare was the biggest expense. Unfortunately, that turned out to be on the high side (it was President’s Day weekend, so it was expected), […]
