Birthdays and a try at sitting at a fire pit with hot (spiked) cocoa
on the back deck. The cupcakes and whoopee pie were courtesy of Rick and
Elizabeth.
Dinner at the Thai place near the house with Brie and Will; it's
becoming more unusual to have the two of them visiting together.

First use of the new telephoto lens (bought for Africa) to take a
photo of a red tailed hawk sitting in the back yard.
And a reminder of tumbling down "Dave's Run" at Mammoth Mountain in
December.

and the pets, of course...

Snow tubing at Nashoba Valley with Rick and Elizabeth

Brie stays with us for a week before heading off to live in Ireland with her husband Aidan
We joined Sue and DJ at Park City, Utah for skiing. DJ's family has a condo there. Spring skiing conditions, but still a lot of fun, including wandering in the downtown shopping area.

Park City Museum was fun, exploring the area's history as a mining town (relics of which remaining dotting the ski area even today) along with an exhibit on advertising for presidential voting).

The drive back to the airport was made a little more interesting by a deluge of snow, which brought heavy traffic from Salt Lake City to Park City. Fortunately, it tapered down near the airport and our flight was not delayed.
