Mountain Mamas

Dan and I went to the first annual Mountain Mammas charity auction dinner last Sunday. It was at the Gold Lakes Resort in Ward. Ward is in the mountains, pretty much out in the middle of nowhere, but it was beautiful! Pam, who is one of the owners of Mountain Mammas, is also one of my fellow Pilates trainees. It was great to go to the event and see what she does outside of the studio. It was a heartfelt evening where they had a slide show of the kids that go to their camp and they had one at the dinner who gave a very moving speech. It was a wonderful evening that was definitely out of my norm. Lots of horse people at the dinner and a few that were not, like us. Although Pam said she would take us riding this summer. Not sure how I feel about that since the few times I've been on a horse (including those plastic bouncy things), I cried like a little girl (granted I was a little girl). I'm older now so we will see. Pam promised me a gentle horse.

The Mountain Mammas also provides a primitive skills program. I'm guessing this gal was part of that program as she started the fire the old fashioned way (versus the way my dad has done in the past with some gasoline and a match!).


Here I am with Susie, an instructor at the Pilates studio where we train and I work, and Pam (in the middle). No, I'm no that tall nor are they that short. I was wearing 4 inch heels that night! Yee Haw!
