Yu Have Come to the Right Place.

Second Day of the Season

The past couple of weeks have been gorgeous in Salt Lake City. This weekend was warm enough for us to have a picnic on our front lawn in the sun.


Last year I found out that you can ski for free at Alta after 3 pm on the bunny slopes. One of the bunny slopes is a nice lift that goes pretty high up, so not a bad deal if you just want to get in a few hours. This year, Wami found out that we could rent skis for Taisei for $8 too. So on Friday, we went up, grabbed some skis for Taisei and let him go. The skis were cute - 67 cm. The smallest boots were 15 cm, so maybe just a little big. But their lower weight limit is 25 lbs. Phew - made it by 3.5 lbs.

Taisei was excited all day, even waking up prematurely from his nap so he could get going. This year, he was better prepared than last year, sporting all the necessary equipment: sunglasses, sunscreen, a snowsuit, hat, and waterproof mitts. Once we "let him go" though, he was a little more reluctant. We spent probably and hour and a half skiing around. He had had enough of going too fast, but by the time we were all packed up and ready to leave, he said he had fun and wanted to go again.



This was a busy day for Taisei. He went to the Little Gym this morning, skied in the afternoon and worked up a good (and rare) appetite for dinner. We used our BOGO free coupon at Ruby Tuesdays (compliments of slickdeals.net) and, for the first time ever, bought Taisei his own meal. He chomped down two mini-burgers (or "han-gerber!") and almost all the fries! We were amazed to see our little guy eating.
