Pond Skimming at The Canyons Ski Resort, Park City

Caleb rarely gets a Saturday off and it just happened to be on the day that The Canyons was hosting a Pond Skimming competition.  He got us all free tickets.  Kids were just as excited to ride the Gondola up the mountain.  We packed a lunch and sunscreen.  

Giddy-up horsey...

Waiting to get on the bucket ride

Next the Gondola

We got there early enough to get front row seats.  Weather was perfect.

 That water was nasty green from the upper pond.

 Eating lunch in the lodge

 These are two out of the three roommates/co-workers of Caleb's (Quay and Alex).  Caleb moved in with them to Park City to save money on rent.  They are all from Florida and have become good friends.  They support Caleb and I every week when we perform. Good guys.  Quay on the left in going to medical school and Alex is came out on vacation from FL two months ago and decided to stay. 

 Of coarse we had to stop and listen to the band. 

 On our way down we got free vitamin waters. 

 Thomas was on one with my tambourine.  I finally had to put it in time out.

After we got home that evening Caleb wanted to practice with his new set of six harmonicas on a few songs.  The kids got their blankets and pillows out to listen.  It's funny how you find ways to survive and entertain each other with out an television.  More family quality time for sure. 

 Thomas had to be right under the table.  He has always loved harmonicas and has about three.  Also, Thomas thought it was funny to compare the guy off of Mary Poppins to Caleb because later on Caleb put my tambourine under his foot and was playing all three instruments at the same time.  Caleb picked the harmonica right back up like it was yesterday.

 Caleb and Pepper have a love/hate relationship.  Pepper has eaten his food right off the table when he has gotten up.  Caleb has very little patience for this dog especially when Pepper acts like this...
