Busy Busy

Woodsy - Wow! Things have been very busy! Let me give you a run down of our last couple of days.
On Thursday we worked and then had a "family" dinner with our Whistler family. There were 11 of us! Graydon made a yummy feast.
On Friday we went free skiing on Whistler. It was "best skiing day ever"! As you saw previously from Beadraich's photos. We went with a Mountain Host, Bob. It was so much fun. After that, we went to Roland's (a pub in Creekside), raced home, showered and went to the Village to visit with my neighbour Holly's sister, Laura who lives in Squamish. We listened to the Corb Lund Band while we visited with Laura and Kaia, her gorgeous dog. Then we went to Trattoria with Graydon and our hosts. It was our little thank you to our hosts for opening their wonderful home to us. They are awesome people!
On Saturday, we both worked and then went to Citta for dinner with Beadraich's cousin. We watched the Gold Medal presentation for Jon Montegomery. Once again, there were tears in my eyes during Oh Canada.
Today, once again, we worked. Everyday is fun here but today was even more fun. At one point early this afternoon, my crew chief pulled 4 of us aside and said that he had a special mission for us. He wanted us to take the Peak Chair to "ensure all was well at the Peak and he expected a full report". We were so thorough, we did it twice. In other words, we went free skiing for about a hour or so. It was funny because all 4 of us are from Ontario. It was gorgeous! After work we headed to the Weasel House and then the Southside Diner for dinner. It has been amazing to meet so many people from so many different places. But it has also been great to meet people from our backyard. We have met several people who ski in Collingwood every weekend, just like us. We are definitely going to try to keep in touch with them!
Tomorrow is another day of work. We have the day off on Tuesday and we are going to ski Blackcomb. We are heading to Bob Sleigh on Wednesday afternoon. It should be lots of fun.
Sorry I haven't posted in a while but we have been really enjoying our time in Whistler during the Olympics. Now we are getting to the point where we are trying to figure out how to cram in everything we still want to do before we leave!
Thanks for all of your messages.
