Skiing on a Thursday

We went skiing on a Thursday because we can. This is what Ikey looks like on almost any drive. He's reading the Cam Jansen Adventure series because he finished the Young Cam Jansen series. These are chapter books with a little mystery in each one. He averages one a day. 

We were so lucky to run into our friend Rich in the parking lot at Canyons, and he had his friend Rich with him too, so we skiied with Red (coat) Rich and Blue Rich in the morning. Ikey said, "I guess they call you Rich because you're so rich." Red Rich said, "They call me Rich because I'm so handsome." 

Jovie, Rich and Ikey consult the map on the safety bar to choose their path for the day.

We found a pair of sunglasses on the gondola, and the kids walked over to the guest services cabin to turn them in while I stashed our lunch backpack on the ski racks. They struck up quite a conversation with Harold and he gave each of them a hot chocolate coupon. We had hot chocolate for our break which turned out to be mostly marshmallows and whipping cream. 

 Ikey really wanted to ride his bike on Jordan River Parkway after skiing, but we had to make it home to finish readying the house for an open house, so we made a quick stop at Old Mill Park. Disappointingly, there was no playground equipment, but we ran around the pond and Ikey took some photos of the Old Mill.
