We hauled ourselves out of bed this morning and piled on the snow gear for a day of glorious snowboarding at Solitude. The snow was nearly fresh. While the sky was mostly cloudy, it was not too cold. Beecher, Truman, Anna & Patrick (Shawn’s kids) and Brock & Taylor) were in the party. I realized I was getting old for all it takes to get kids on the slopes (gear, passes, etc) and the snowboard legs were a little shaky too. Still, I love the feeling of the cold and the quiet and the speed. My friend Tony Johnson also joined us for half day.
The day ended with a trip tp Brigham City to meet Gina’s parents, Kay and Gene. Beecher and Truman were happy to see their grandparents and looking forward to more snow in Malad, ID, lots of food, the library and late nights watching videos and playing cards. Tony made the trip with me, which was greatly appreciated. We stopped in to see Todd Wetsel and his kids on the way home. I have to get up early and hit the road to wish my darling wife Happy Birthday tomorrow. Thanks to Anna and Truman for photos.
