SpiderMan and Blog

Hello! We are up at the Wride reunion enjoying our first day at Park City. Corey and I went on a ride this morning, up Armstrong then down HAM, which was a nice and pleasant ride for us. We came back to kids watching Sponge Bob, as per the decades long Park City tradition, and eating cereal. (My plans for oatmeal did not materialize, cause I didn't want to cook it.) The activity for today (per the Wride Park City calendar) was to go float the Provo River. But then as we were all checking in yesterday, we saw on the hotel's activity calendar in the elevator that Spider Man was coming on Monday from 3-5. The river was scheduled for 1 o'clock. I wondered to Corey about moving the river to earlier? He said Mark had work. That's ok, I just won't tell Peter about the Spider Man visit, but then last night everyone else told him, so then we were stuck. Peter didn't want to miss it. Mark was tired anyway, so we decided to postpone the river day until tomorrow. Today we've been hanging around the hotel and Peter has come into the room to announce to me how many hours left until Spider Man came. After plenty of swimming, video games, and time in the Mine, the appointed time with Spider-Man was at hand. Peter must have been first in line, cause Corey had already sent a pic as I was leaving our room to go see. 

It was a dream come true for Peter. The poor Spider Man guy was scheduled to be here for two hours though. Around 3:30 there wasn't much going on, other than him talking to little kids who wanted him to swing up to the 3rd floor balcony by his spider webs. Ethan, slightly disappointed, asked "This is why we rescheduled river day?" Well, we also rescheduled because Mark was tired, Rhyan couldn't make it, and cause Lily had an online class to finish. Ethan took a pic of the guys' backside and showed it to us compared it with a pic of Tom Holland in his skin tight Spidey suit, followed by a gif from Elf with Buddy the elf "He's a fake!!" haha. Yeah, we know, but that's ok. It made Peter's day. We took a few more pics. It was all Peter had hoped for. 

I thought the guy did a decent job. It would be hard to pull off Spider Man. This guy didn't have a gut, so I say it's good. Katharine posed with him. She would have prob have been more excited to see Belle or Cinderella. That's ok. 

The older kids weren't interested in pics with Spider Man.

So then people went back to swim and do whatever, and I have spent most of my time today in the room today blogging. Around 4pm I had finished three posts from December, I kept working and now I've finished 5. I'm almost done, just 5 more then I'll finally be done with 2024. I've let June and July fall behind, ugh I'm also behind with March April May, oh well, I'll keep chipping away at it. Nancy had dinner tonight. As predicted, it was taco bowls with rice, chicken, and all the fixings. 

Our older kids are on for dinner tomorrow, they're doing Italian, Mark is on Wednesday (I'm saying he'll prob do ravioli and ceasar salad) and we have Thursday. We're doing something Asian. Friday is a BBQ by the pool day. Part of me feels I should be interacting more with everyone while we are all here together, but I'm also feeling (like Corey was two weeks ago at Bear Lake) that it is an opportune time to get stuff done when I know that the kids are all well and having fun and being entertained. So I'll try to crank out blog posts while I can. I rescheduled the carpets to be cleaned tomorrow instead of Wednesday, cause Corey scheduled the ride with Kyle on Wednesday on accident after I already had the carpet appt at 2. The carpet guy was flexible, which is nice. So I'll head down tomorrow for that, yay, I'm excited to have them cleaned! Hasn't been done since covid!
