Today was the first full day with everyone in town, and we seized the moment by all going to Sundance. Meera, Clara and Bea all had ski lessons. Clark, Swathi, Lydia, Mary, Soren and I all skied while they were in lessons. Actually, I snowboarded, as I really wanted to keep learning how to do it after trying it the last week with Chris.
Meera is the cutest skier ever!
After the kids’ lessons, we had lunch, and then they all wanted to keep skiing so we all skied more.
Clark and Swathi helped with Bea and Clara, and I was able to get some time with Meera. She was doing so great, she even went on and off the left and skied to the bottom.
When skiing was over, the fun didn’t end. There was a little snow slide that was way more fun than taking the stairs as we were exiting.
Back at home, the kids played while the grown-ups helped Lily finalize the preparations for the Harry Potter feast (Lily had been working on it all day while we were skiing):
Lily served spoon beef, mashed potatoes, mushroom gravy, cucumber water, pumpkin juice, hot chocolate, French onion soup with cheesy bread and chocolate cake, much of which was from her Harry Potter cook book. The food was divine and I think everyone got a kick out of the ambience. Thank you Lily for such a magical evening!
In the evening, the kids had fun together and played Junior Monopoly.
Everyone had a ton of fun today!
