Jon's Graduated!

Yesterday was Jon's last day of school. Even though he was not very excited about it (weird boy) I am very excited for him. I wanted to do something super special for him and booked a sleigh ride up the mountain to a yurt for a 5 course dinner along with a snow shoeing tour. http://www.thevikingyurt.com/index.html -- Should be fun right?

We both got off work a little early to make it up to Park City in time. It was FREEZING. 12 degrees as we climbed into our bob cat sleigh. It hasn't been snowing a lot (until today!) so they decided to take us up a different way to the top of the mountain where our dinner was waiting. However shortly after the ride started we ran into just a few problems. This area had not been groomed therefore we were having a big of difficulty getting up the mountain. I think I can I think I can were the words Jon used for our struggle up the mountain lol. We'd almost get to the top then start sliding down the mountain backwards. Pretty funny however a mom sitting in the row in front of us had different words to describe it. After a good half hour we called for reinforcements. Another bob cat came to try to help us up the mountain however shortly after chaining us together the chain broke and we once again started falling down the mountain. Makes us wonder what exactly was holding our sleigh to the bob cat. Sad to say they cancelled our evening.

I felt horrible. This was supposed to be a big day for Jon; however we did have an experience that we wont forget. One day we will make it on all our adventures we've tried. Yurt you havent seen the last of us!
