Not Again!!

It snowed again this week.  This time, I took full advantage it...

By skiing with a friend at Deer Valley!

      The day we went, the sun was shining with blue skies and fresh powder.

Relaxing lift rides. Gave us time to do our talking and resting.

Tissue in each lift line to wipe the "runny schnauze". Now, that is royal treatment!

We skiied fast and furious for the first part of the day. Pretty impressive for a couple of Old Women( I hope you don't mind I called you old, Erin?).  However, by mid afternoon, we did enjoy following the signs that said, "Lodge" or "Easy".

Erin, Thanks for a great day of skiing at Deer Valley!

Questions Answered

 

 

My last post consisted of pictures of us swimming. I think many of you wondered where mountain people like us would swim when we are buried in snow.  We are fortunate to have an indoor facility just 25 minutes south of our home.  This pool has a large and small water-slide, a lazy river, a beach-like entrance which is great for our little ones (not very deep), a high and low diving board, and a hot tub! Keeps us all busy and having fun. We arrived soon after they opened and so we had the pool to ourselves for a good portion of the time. 

Now you know about our secret swimming hole during the winter months!!!

Girls and Twirls

Our girls love tea parties! We were well overdue for one. So, we all put on our "party dresses", fixed the goodies and prepared two flavored teas. The flavors were Peach Passion and Razzle Raspberry.
