We are going on a special outing tomorrow. School lets out at 11:00a.m. for parent/teacher conferences, so the ski club is heading back up to Greek Peak (http://www.greekpeak.net/). We were just there Monday, skiing as usual. I was chaperoning, however I don’t think that’s the proper term for chasing six-year-olds down snowy mountains. That is speed skiing.
This week the resort is treating us to a change of pace. Planning to fulfill my supervisor commitment, I asked the president of the PTA about it.
“They have an indoor water park?”
“Yes, it’s not open to the public, only resort guests. But as part of our ski club package, we get to go for the afternoon.”
“You mean like with inner tubes and chlorine and nasty little bits of unidentifiable matter floating in the water?”
“Ha, ha, Lisa. You are so funny!”
I was actually being serious.
“So, you’ve been there before?” How old are the lifeguards and do they serve margaritas?
“Oh, yes! It’s really fun.”
I am imagining myself poolside, holding out fluffy towels in between reading my book or answering e-mail.
“The water’s pretty warm, actually.”
I snap out of my daydream.
“Excuse me?”
“They heat the water to 82 degrees, so it really feels nice.”
These Ithaca moms actually go on the water slides with their kids! I wonder if they body surf the wave pool, too.
“Fabulous.” Not a single one of my bikinis is going to hold up against a deluge bucket or activity tower.
How fast can L.L. Bean deliver in the snow?
