There have been years we have gone to Park City for our annual ski trip and arrived to brown grass and slushy slopes. One year TJ threatened to bring his golf clubs when he saw the balmy forecast. This year no golf clubs were needed...only skis.

Being the weather nerd that I am, I kept track of the snowfall before our trip. Things were looking very promising, there was a substantial base and regular new snowfall. I had high hopes for some amazing skiing! There are some skiers who love knee deep powder, I am not one of them! I like my ski slopes nicely groomed with maybe an inch or two of fresh snow on top of them. I'm very
picky wimpy when it comes to skiing. Deep powder is work if you ask me and even more challenging when you are skiing through a blizzard.

One of the days we chose not to ski in the knee deep powder,
we watched the professionals instead! |
To say we had epic snow may be an understatement. It snowed over 50 inches the week we were there! I wondered if we would ever see the sun but on day four it finally showed its face! Nothing better than blue skies and plenty "groomed" slopes! It was an epic trip if you like snow!

The other thing that has made me smile lately happens every Friday morning. It is just as good as waking up and seeing groomed slopes and blue skies. It is taking Logan to swimming lessons. I have never seen a more infectious smile in my life than the one he sports during swimming lessons. He can come out of the water sputtering and gasping for breath but there is a huge smile on his face when he does. The kid LOVES the water! I have no idea if he is the next Michael Phelps or the next Jacques Cousteau but he is very close to mastering rolling from front to back and back to front in the water. He has shown definite improvement over the last few months and never...not once...has he ever hesitated to get into the pool or do whatever the coach asks. It is a joy to watch him. *This paragraph is brought to you by a proud grandmother.

| Sheer joy! |
 |
| Smiling halfway under water... |
 |
| Smiling while others are swimming... |
 |
| Smiling when listening.... |
 |
| Still smiling! I think he likes it! |
What is it that makes you smile like this? Do it!
