A Series of Unfortunate Events

Image
Recently, a group of us went jeeping about 45 minutes outside of Nederland , Colorado .   We woke early to find a beautiful day.   We all gathered in a parking lot with smiles on our faces awaiting the new adventure ahead.   We got a little late start from Denver and headed to Boulder where we met some of our crew.   This is when a series of unfortunate events begins and I believe it was in these events, God was testing us. After filling up with the team, we thought one of the jeeps needed a new alternator [which in CJ-5 terms; would be 3 bolts –in and out].   A cop stopped to look at the jeeps and we asked of an auto store close by.   He pointed to the left and we headed out.   Of course, being in jeeps we missed the median in the middle of the road and were promptly pulled over for illegal turn and hopping the median.   This less than adequate median was barely visible and once on top of it realized but was already in the middle of traffic. ...

Play-Off Upset For The Ice

The Colorado Ice come into the June 27th first play-off game against the Tri-City Fever with full steam.  At one point they were 3 touchdowns ahead, but somewhere after half-time they lost their steam.  Tri-City caught up with just being a touch down behind in the fourth quarter.  With about 5 minutes left they scored leaving the board a tie of 42 to 42.  Ice receive the ball with a shut out.  Four second left the Fever kick a field goal winning the game 45-42.  They will go on to play the Allen Wranglers after July 4th. On a positive note, the 2011 Colorado Icicles finished off their performance season with a bang.  They danced quarter to Britney Spears "Slave".  The crowd was awed by their sexy, seductive number especially when they whipped off their jackets to show a little skin.  Stay tuned to hear of appearances happening throughout the 2011 year. Congratulations Colorado Ice for an amazing season finishing Mountain West Division Cha...

The June 4th, 2011 Icicles Dance Camp was a hit.  Over 25 girls of all ages joined the 2011 Colorado Icicles at 8:30am to learn a dance routine and cheer. All the girls seemed rather enthusiastic and were having a blast for such an early weekend event.  They all worked very hard and left with their parents only to return later that night to perform during half-time. A whole mix of emotions entered the field from nervous, to giddy, to excited.  They awed the crowd with a beautiful performance to Katy Perry's Fireworks.  They followed by a cheer: GO-FIGHT-WIN; and unfortunately the cheers were not loud enough as the Ice lost 37-57 to the Wranglers.  This final game left the Colorado Ice at a 11-3 record still being the Division Champions.  This being quite a turn around from the last few years on the field. Congratulations Ice and good luck in the play-offs.
