Today Lily and I got up before 8 and Lily got the kids ready for school and took them while I caught up on the blog. Then Lily took Clarissa and Georgia on some outings while I went cross-country skiing with Daniel.
Skiing was soooo fun. I’m not as in shape as Daniel, so I ended a little before he did (and I had a hard time keeping up before that), but it was magical. Daniel is such a good and pleasant friend, the weather and scenery were divine, and it was such an incredible workout. I loved every second of it. It was also cool to know that where were skiing (Soldier Hollow) is where the cross-country skiing happened in the Olympics. We came to Soldier Hollow because Sundance was shut down from getting too much snow. It was really fun to explore a new place! Here are some pictures and a video I caught of Daniel:
After skiing, I got a haircut and then met up with Lily, and Clarissa at home. I caught Lily playing dolls with Clarissa and I got a video:
I then joined the fun. Our dolls read Poetry, did math, ate cake, went to Central Park, rode the merry-go-round, rode bikes and saw a puppet show. It was so fun, but what was most fun about it was how happy we could tell it made Clarissa.
Then I ate lunch and took a bath while Lily picked up the kids from school. I then took Basil on a walk while Lily read and Lydia did her harp practice. On the walk, Basil LOVED being off-leash. He was playing in the snow and he kept running and then plopping down to torpedo in the snow. I thought it was cute and got a video:
When I got home, I took Mary, Lydia and Ammon to Sundance to get their skis fitted for ski school. We made it all the way to Sundance to realize that the downhill area (not just the Nordic Center) was also completely shut down and they were not doing the ski fittings. We then left and made it ten minutes early to Mary and Ammon’s piano lesson.
When we got home from the lesson, we had a delicious gyro dinner waiting for us that Lily made. Lily also made an incredible salad.
Then we put all the kids to bed. It sure has been sweet to take time away from work and spend extra time with family and friends. One more day of bliss awaits me tomorrow!
