Life has been wonderfully busy lately. Brendan just got done with his school spring break and we had over eight family members in town. It was great seeing everyone the only bummer was spring skiing did not happen and we had some nasty more winter-like weather. Today was the first day that the sun was shining, it was forty degrees and the snow was softer. Last Sunday the wind was shutting down a quarter of the mountain and it was biting cold wind. Although the only advantage to having winter like weather was one day Brendan was able to convince the others into renting powder skis and experiencing powder with the right equipment after a huge amount of snow at Alta. I had to work that day but I loved hearing all about it later. Hopefully the weather will behave next weekend when we have some more friends in town. The other great news is Park City will be open a weekend later in April then originally planned. One of these posts I will have to update what a "usual" Saturday ski day is for all of us.
In other news, Brendan injured his back yesterday at Snowgression. It is this awesome foam pit, ramp, trampoline place in Salt Lake that the boys try to get to at least once a week. I went for a tramp session last Saturday and it is a huge workout and a lot of fun to do something so different. The only scary part is the risk for injuries can be huge if you are not careful. Sure enough Saturday Bren said he got distracted and landed a fall wrong. He could have been hurt way worst instead he is just icing his back a lot and taking it easy. We will see how long that lasts with his hockey playoffs this week and more friends in town to enjoy the hill. I will try to upload videos of Snowgression on here, its pretty cool.
My spring is going great, finished one baby sweater which turned promptly into Bjorn's smoking jacket and I am in the process of taking a second sweater class. This class involves learning seaming, which is way easier then it looks. Hard to believe I only started knitting a year ago and how far I have come. Bread baking continues and I am also trying to take some hot yoga classes and a get a ballet class in here and there. I am looking forward to going home to MN for my bestfriend's wedding in May and seeing my hockey team of nephews and family. Thats the only hard part of living so far away. Although technology is incredible enough that through Skype we were able to sing along and watch the twins at their first birthday party, pretty incredible!
I will try to update this blog some more in the next few weeks and hopefully upload some videos too. We hope all our family and friends are enjoying their spring and more sunshine!
Love
Alyssa
