Park City Skiing March 14th







Well we had the best intentions for a family day of skiing. We loaded up our skis and were all dressed to go and headed to Park City for a day of skiing. When we got there Jon and I got all the kids boots, gloves, helmets on and got the kids loaded up with their skis, then it was up to me to make the walk with the kids to the ticket office while Jon parked the car and got his boots on. Needless to say the walk was not good, Lucy did not want to carry her skis and was stopping in protest and Nic was not wanting to ski at all with a fear of falling off the mountain so he kept stopping to sit and cry. So by the time we got to the ticket office by the lifts, Nic was not willing to ski at all and kept crying in protest, so I bought Jon a pass only to ski with our other 3 kids, and Nic and I spent our time in the lodge having lunch and resting. About 3 hours later Jon was down with the kids only after doing 2 runs, with the 2nd run taking over 2 hours. This was due to Lucy stopping lots and lots on the mountain to lay down and cry about not wanting to ski. This left Jon with close to no patients with kids, so I took Lucy and Stock with me and Nic so Jon and Syd could enjoy one more run. With the day done, we really did have lots of memories, Lucy can ski just doesn't want to and we got the kids picture taken with a St. Bernard dog.
