Ice Skating

No trip to Park City is complete without a little ice skating.  And Lily got to enjoy it two different times.  The first time all the ladies went out.  Lily is getting daring enough not to use the sides a little bit which is fun.  While we were skating, Lily saw one of her friends from school from Delaware.  Yes, she spotted a school friend 2000 miles away from home.  And it wasn't busy at all.  So her and her friend Sophia (and family) planned another meet up at the ice skating rink for a couple days later.  The girls had a great time.

Park City - Sundance

Over Lily's winter break we were able to hang out at our place in Park City and enjoy the Sundance Film Festival with our good friend the Carpenters.  Sundance was definitely an experience.  Lots of celebrity spotting, film watching, free give aways and just generally a fun place to hang out for a couple days.

Making a buck

Lily and her friend Mary are always looking for ways to make a dollar.  They've sold slime at school and next up was drive way shovelling during a snow storm.  They took orders the night before and got after it the next day.  She made about $45 and worked her little tail off the majority of the day.  Then the next day they made cupcakes and went door to door selling them.  Thank goodness for nice neighbors.

Foodie in the house!

Lily has become an absolute foodie.  Not only does she love going out and critiquing food, but she also loves to cook her own food and critique it.  I couldn't be more proud of her.  And having her fix a few meals here and there is a huge help too.

Below are some heart shaped French Macarons for Valentines Day (plus we made a million sugar cookies that looked very professionally decorated)

Yummy Hello Fresh meal cooked prepared completely by Lily

Special Sushi prepared for Lily's by her favorite sushi chef (Hero)

Yes, she even uses a kitchen blow torch

Disney's Animal Kingdom

We originally offered to let Lily got to Universal to see Harry Potter World, but after some examination it looked like the rides were way to scary.  So Lily opted instead for a day at Disney's Animal Kingdom.  The great part for the parents was (1) its on our way back to Delaware and a perfect stopping off point (2) Lily doesn't mind going early and leaving early to avoid the crowds and (3) Animal Kingdom was awesome - even the food!  So we all had an amazing time.

Other Random Pictures

Chris was much more camera happy than normal so I got some great pictures with my little (but tall and mighty) girl.

Sunsets

There is one thing for sure... the sunsets on the gulf in Florida are amazing.  We try as much as possible to make our way down and enjoy as many as we can.  And frankly, we are never disappointed.  Oh, and of course we had to enjoy a stop at Doc Fords for some tasty food.  Lily wouldn't have it any other way.
