We've been busy really busy with Christmas stuff this last week so since Saturday was Sam's last full day in Provo we decided to PACK the day with activities. We were supposed to go skiing and snowboarding with Ose and Chris but after spending a day in Park City and freezing to death Sam decided that he didn't want to pay $100.00 to freeze and spend the day on his butt. Plus, Debbie wasn't going to be able to join us either so we did everything we could possibly imagine doing in Provo. Here's how the day went...
11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.- Lunch at Debbie's (Christmas leftovers)
1:00 p.m. to 2:45 p.m. - Ice Skating at Seven Peaks
3:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. - Sledding at Rock Canyon
4:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. - BYU Creamery
4:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. - Bowling at BYU
6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. - Chillin' at Debbie's
7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. - Dinner at Bombay House
9:00 p.m. to Midnight - Cranium Tournament
I think we made up for the "boring days," don't you? :)
We had a blast ice skating... well, all of us except for Dani, she HATED it. She stayed on the ice for about 5 mins and 4 of those were spent with all of us standing around her trying to convince her that she wasn't going to die, that we would hold her hands and someone would hold her from behind but she wanted NOTHING to do with it. :(
I think Debbie and I were the only ones that had ever been sledding or "tobogganing" as Sam's Canadian girlfriend would say :). Bruno and I were the first to go down. He really enjoyed it but after a few trips down the hill we ended up heading straight for a pole - not intentionally - which was padded but he didn't know, so he turned really sharp to keep me from hitting to pole straight on, got a ton of snow in his shoe, and hit his arm :(. Way to be a gentlemen and take a hit for me!
Sam also ended up injured...
See the blood on his tongue? Here's what happened. After a few runs on the smaller hills Sam decided to go on the big hill. On the second run down the big hill he hit a bump as he reached the bottom that was sufficiently intense to make his cap fly off his head and he bit his tongue. So he concluded that when you go sledding you should scream with your mouth closed like this...
Instead of with your mouth open like this...
Sam and Renan after "conquering" the hills. (If you look closely you can see Viv and Bruno in my car in the background warming up).
So we stopped at the Creamery after sledding to warm up and discovered that the Creamery has this insanely good hot cocoa float type drink. You pick and ice cream flavor and then they top it off with hot cocoa... YUM!!!! See the satisfied look in Dani's face as she savors the "Chocolate Creme" as it is called.
Viv left right as we were wrapping things up and we needed a group picture so we handed Dani the camera... :). We had the camera zoomed in for the first shot so we framed it as well as she could but couldn't get everyone in the shot but did a fine job with the second shot. Given the contrast between her ice skating skills and her photography skills, we decided that this 3 year old has a little more proclivity towards "the arts."
Our creative table ordered mostly Chicken Tikka Massala at the Bombay House. Bruno's was REALLY spicy and the poor boy suffered more than he is used to suffering at dinner time. The rest of us were quite pleased with our meals :). 
This is what happens when a Ute comes in contact with BYU apparel :).
