vacation at snowbird in utah

My parents have had a time share up at snowbird ski and summer resort every august for the past 33 years and I haven't had a chance to make it up there with them since Soren was a baby ( 5 years ago). It was a lot of fun to see everyone. Craig stayed home and worked during the week so I took the 3 kids on our first long trip without him. The trip is about 5 hours to get down to utah and with having to stop and nurse and potty breaks it took a litttle longer than that but overall wasn't TOO BAD. I have a lot of memories as a kid at snowbird and love that my own kids can start making memories there too.

When we all get together all the girls usually get pedicures together so this trip we did just that. Here we are getting pedicures with our little ones in our laps. mine you can see is not in my lap but in the stroller off to the side :) he didn't make it to my lap till after photo.

Here is me with my little ivan on the balcony. This is a great view of the mountains and so nice to wake up to in the morning.

Here is one of Braxtin smiling. He isn't as on demand smiley like ivan is so it was nice to catch him in a smile in this photo.

Here is ivan with Braxtin hanging out on the floor.

Here is one if Ivan with my mom. He is also sporting the fo hawk as well. Super CUTE!!!

And here he is with my dad. He got a little sun earlier in the day and you can tell by his red cheeks.

Here is everyone playing games.

here is one of ivan and me. He is such a cute!!!

Here is a picture of Ivan with my little sister Alyssa. The shirt she is wearing was a "reverse tie die" activity snowbird had during the week. reverse being that you don't add color but, by using bleach, take color away. To do so you simple use stencils and a stray bottle with bleach in it. All the shirts that my siblings made turned out really nice. I plan to do this activity sometime later for sure.

over the last few years they have accumulated quite the little theme park. Here is my brother Mack getting ready to head down the Alpine Slide

Here is kaydence on the trampoline. She is my little dare devil!

We took the tram up the mountain but Soren was on the onset of our sickness and couldn't stay awake. He slept right there the whole time we were up there.

Here is a view of snowbird as we are coming down the tram.
