A Day at Snowbird

We went up to Snowbird for the day. This is one of our favorite family activities each summer. It's a great way to get out of the heat and have fun! Joe rode the bull. He was certain he would last quite a while and was thrown quickly.

We took the peruvian chair lift up and saw a couple of moose on the way. Once we got to the top Joe had a fabulous idea to hike off the beaten trail. I think my legs still hurt from hiking the line! I was a bit nervous because it was straight up on one side of us and straight down on the other. Joe just might be a little more adventurous than I am, especially with kids in tote.

Okay, maybe I was a little adventurous. I did strap into the voluntary "wedgy"! I even did a few back flips! The kids were cheering me on, until they saw the other three teenagers showing me up! Then the three teenagers kept asking for more time! I thought I was going to have a coronary!

I rode the mechanical bull! Whew! That was a funny one. When I went to jump on it for the first time, I flew over the top to the other side. Everyone in line was laughing. Then when I finally got back on, my pants would pull down when the bull went up and I nearly mooned the entire snowbird community! It was a comedy of errors!

Hanna loved climbing the wall! She's a natural spiderwoman!

Gracie and Morgan venturing the wall together! It was too cute!

They wouldn't let Gracie ride the bull, but she was satisfied with sitting on it! She's my little daredevil!

On the Tram after our bazillion mile "leisure" hike! Joe, I'm not hiking with you anymore!

Morgan on the bull! He showed me how it's really done!

The Alpine Slide! We raced several times, I never won. Gracie kept on insisting she "ride alone". It was our last a final ride when we realized she needed to be 7 to ride alone! Oops, sorry, she loved it!

The Fabrizio family at the top of the world! So beautiful! Gracie was so funny. On the lift up to the alpine slide she asked if she could go on the Zip Line. I told her she was too little. She needed to weigh 75lbs to go on it, so she needed to be bigger. She then proceeded to point and ask if random individuals were "fat" enough to ride the Zip Line!

Morgan on the trampoline! He did a back flip! It wasn't easy, but he did it!

Funny story about Morgan: Driving in the car and stopped at a light. Morgan spots a jogger jogging in place and asks, "Mom, why is he doing that?" I told him because he was jogging and didn't want to stop while he waited for the light to change. He thought a minute and said, "Mom, why are joggers skinny?" and I replied, "Because they jog." Quietly he thought again, then said, "Mom, then why aren't you skinny?" Only through the mouths of babes, eh?

Gracie and Hanna harnessing in for the marathon jump (at least it was for me)!

Me , My Mom, Gracie, Hanna and Autumn at the Oquirrih Temple Open House! It was wonderful! What a perfect girls day out! This has been a great summer! I am blessed with much, especially loved ones!
