Lucky break!

Those who have taken their 4 year-old skiing know the logistical undertaking this represent; between taking care of yourself, your gear and a little person equipment and whereabouts, there isn't one spare moment! Yesterday afternoon, I was with my son and grandson at the Park City Mountain Resort.

We skied for a good hour and, passed that time, Finn has had his fun on the snow and wanted to go home. We called the ladies of the house and they immediately came to pick up their little skier while the two older guys kept on skiing until closing time.

After a few good runs, we too drove home, had a wonderful meal together, a good conversation and as the weather was turning to snow, it was time for the younger members of the party to head down towards the valley. Forty-five minute later and well into the evening, our son called asking where Finn's skis were; he assumed they had been left in our car as he couldn't find them in his.

We went to the garage, looked but found nothing. We then assumed that we had left them behind, at the ski area. We immediately drove there, and lo and behold we saw them, sitting in the snow, untouched, on the edge of the run along with Finn's ski harness and leash. We were so fortunate that they were still there that it became our little Christmas Miracle for the day!
