Here is the latest video I've been working on.
We had a chance to go watch our favorite Big'e Anja train. She does aerial skiing competitively, and although I only have footage of her doing it "on water", she will actually perform her jumps on snow (once there is some).
Let me tell you - standing at the top of that ramp is quite something (scary, freaky, and more along those lines), and I could never, ever do what she does!!
Look for yourself!
(For my "newer" blog readers - Anja is my cousin's daughter from Switzerland, and one year ago she came to stay with us for three months)

About Me
- Mike and Barb
- We are an international family with roots in the USA, Switzerland, and China. We have 6 children between the ages of 8 and 14. Our youngest two daughters were adopted from China in 2007 and 2010. We live in the "Forever West" State of Wyoming, USA, where we enjoy living and celebrating our different heritage with its unique traditions. We're nuts about God, family, Swiss Chocolate, legos, traveling, green smoothies, soccer, video games, gardening, Nutella, laptops, tapioca pudding, princesses, reading, home-made bread, potstickers, friends, and many other things that the Lord has blessed us with.

That is amazing, Barb! I hope she makes it to the Olympics! I really admire these athletes who are so willing to put in all the hours to train over and over and over to reach their dreams.
It's not really glamorous at all, the process of getting there. But so worth it!

Incredible! Such perserverance, dedication and a lot of bravery! This was so cool to see....I often wondered how people are able to learn these thing and not break their necks in the process, along with being able to practice in the off season.
Way to go Anja!
Hugs,
