Snowbird!

The week started off slow enough with our little sick kidlets.  Lots of lazy days and too much tv.  We did make it to a park one morning just to break out of the house before it got too hot.  Kylie discovered that she can go down the fireman pole thingy!


We also managed to go on a hot walk to get the mail one day and ran into our friend Peyton and the girls were so excited to see each other.


Wednesday night, really late, we left for Snowbird.  We left the house at 9 PM after Brandon's class that he taught, and the kids were super hyper for an hour thanks to the huge suckers Brandon got them.  We managed to make it up to Snowbird by 1.30 AM and bleary eyed we crawled into bed only to be woken up by our crazy kids super early like normal!

Thursday was our big super fun day.  Luckily the kids were feeling better, though I was starting to feel kinda down.  First stop was the park!  Hayden didn't care too much about playing at the playground versus wandering around the woods on a bear hunt.  He was convinced he was going to find a bear!




Then we started going on some rides!  Hayden was feeling the effects of staying up all night and just wanted to cuddle with Grandma Shari, but Kylie was up for jumping on the tramp and then the bouncy house.



Then Grandpa Gary and Brandon joined up with us and we went on the mountain coaster.  Probably our most favorite ride!  Hayden still wouldn't let go of Grandma Shari!



Then we took the tram up the mountain and had some lunch, after which it was definitely nap time.


Everyone got a good nap in before going out to play some more!  Many more rides on the Mountain Coaster and even the Alpine Slide once.  We had finally gotten Hayden away from Grandma Shari and he was going to go down with Brandon, but then he saw me and came and sat with me.  And then last second he went to join Grandpa Gary.  Crazy kid!






Then some more jumping and playing in the bounce house.  The kids could stay on that attraction forever!



Friday we went to the playground again and took a short walk through the woods.  Hayden loved it and was so fascinated by everything, but Kylie cried practically the whole time because there were too many bugs and too much dirt.  So we came back and went swimming!  It was a deep pool so Kylie really got to show off her swimming skills!


Then Grandma Shari took the kids back home and Brandon and I got to spend the evening alone up at Snowbird!  Which was really nice because I was really feeling my head cold by then and it was nice not to be chasing the kids everywhere.

Saturday we met back up the the kids and Grandma Shari and Grandpa Gary only to find poor little Kylie all sick again.  I think she has a bad case of swimmer's ear.  So she and I spent the day in bed napping and the boys spent the day playing video games.

Sunday we headed back home in the morning after a quick stop to see Grandma Tess.  She had a birthday present for Kylie and Kylie loved opening up her surprise on the way home.  Hayden also had a little something and it was a nice distraction from the long drive!  And now we are home!  We had a super fun time visiting everyone and spending some nice time up in the cool mountains!
