Skiing and Riding in Park City

After finally reaching The Canyons late Tuesday night, we rolled out onto the slopes Wednesday morning.  Despite the less than ideal conditions (the temperature here in Park City has been above freezing for the past two weeks), the terrain was challenging and rewarding, and the views incredible.  Afterward, the boys even spotted a Kokopelli figure in a storefront window (Kokopelli is a a Native American fertility god with a distinctive Anasazi shape, and is mentioned many times in the novel, Thief of Time, we are reading).  In the evening, after dinner, the gang spent time reading and journaling, then gathered for discussion and homemade chocolate chip cookies in Michelle's room.  It is snowing outside as I write this, softening the slopes for tomorrow.  Tomorrow you will begin hearing from the boys themselves.
