Just A Little Mishap

We've had a fun week. Busy as usual. It was nice to have my parents here visiting. We took them up to Alta Ski Resort to see the kids ski. Since we didn't have a lot of time, we went for the "Ski for Free after 3" that they have there so we got to ski for about 2 hours for free.

We also enjoyed having dinner with Curtis' family and Mom and Dad at Terry and Marilyn's new house in Provo. It was awesome.

Yesterday, Rebecca didn't have school (Tanner and Joshua still did) so I took Rachel, Rebecca, and Adam skiing. Since we had never been to Sundance and David could get us passes from his work, we decided to go there instead of our usual Park City. It was a beautiful day. Too beautiful because it was just a little too warm. But we had a great time.



The snow got wetter and slushier as the day went on. I stayed with the kids on the easier runs but I did find a place near them that had some nice looking moguls. I was really doing quite well until I hit the wettest, heaviest snow and I kind of stalled. I fell uphill so it was not a bad fall but I had jammed my thumb into the ground and my fingernail got bent back a little and hurt a little. But, I jumped up and we skied for a few more hours.



By this morning my thumb was very swollen, sore, and a little worrisome. I went to the doctor and yep, I have a broken thumb. On my right hand of course. 4-6 weeks in the soft cast plus a trip to a hand specialist to make sure I get full movement back. Oh brother!! And how am I supposed to ski with this big bandage on my hand? Do they make gloves that big? HaHa
