Yesterday it snowed...and snowed...and snowed! It was absolutely beautiful!!! It started really coming down about noon and didn't let up until sometime in the night. Just when you think Spring has arrived...we get a dump! Don't get me wrong, it is a welcome site around here. We need the snow! The mountain doesn't close up shop until Easter Sunday so bring on the snow...at least for another week!
Sunday was a chilly yet sunny day. Tess and I took the kids ice skating (for the first time for both Arielle and Jake...and Alena). We first had lunch at McDonalds then on to Snow King to the ice arena for the public skate. Jake was SOOO excited! He wanted to be Apollo Ono, of course. I love how he can transition from Shaun White to Apollo Ono to DeMarcus Cousins to Chandler Shepherd to Tyler from Step Up (yes...my boy can breakdance with the best of them). Anyway, Gray was on the cranky side so I took him for a little drive while Tess skated with the kids. Brad was attempting to enjoy a ski day but he mountain was pretty much like skiing on an ice block so I don't think it was his most memorable day ever! However, it was a ski day none-the-less.
Today, Jake and Brad ran over for a couple of hours to ski in the fresh PowPow as Jake calls it (he has really picked up the lingo here). I took Jake over on St. Patrick's Day for a beautiful day of skiing. The snow was not the best the mountain has ever had but it was snow and the sun was shining. Everyone was in their green and Jake and I had a blast! We saw everything...a green spandex race suit with Speedos over top, a green bikini top, a fella in a green shorts suit dance an Irish jig while in his ski boots holding a drink and smoking a cig, and several capes with "Kiss Me I'm Irish" painted on. It was a show to say the least. I even got to chat with one of my favorite family members on the way home (Cindy...better know as Chan and Chels' Mom). It was quite a good day.
Last week was also a great week for the CATS!! GO BIG BLUE!!!! We will watch them beat Cornell(hopefully) on Thursday and then enjoy another game on Saturday. We will be in Jackson for the annual JH Mountain Festival and Pole, Pedal, Paddle so we will most likely watch the game with some friends...maybe even at the Mangy Moose! YUM!!!
Here are a few pictures I thought you might enjoy as well!
