Mountains.

Sundance.

One of the things I miss most about Utah is the Mountains.

We met up with with one my old friends I grew up with, and her 4 kids.
We took the 15 minute drive up to Sundance to ride the chair lift to the top.

The kids loved the ride up. It was gorgeous, I have really forgotten how

beautiful the mountains are!

Once we got to the top we walked around for a bit,

and took some pictures of the kids "on top of the world!"

Then we let the kids run around on the beautiful soft green grass...

love.love.love. the grass.

I have an appreciation for nice grass since living in Oklahoma.

(no offense, they just have bermuda grass...not so lush and soft and green and pretty...sorry!)

We then had a nice dinner at one of the restuarants there.

We had such a fun time with the Madsen's! Taylor and Spencer are 2 peas in a pod, and Maddie and twin's had a great time together! We really need to get together more often...it's really a shame they live in PA and we live in OK...too far!

Snowbird.

We had debated on going to Park City, but when we found out all the fun stuff they had at Snowbird, we decided to go there instead.

Taylor and I decided on the Alpine slide...

Maddie wasn't too keen on the idea, but I made her go anyway.
She ended up loving it, and wanted to do it again!
Taylor tried to get bucked off the bull...

he actually did pretty good!

Dale's choice was the zip line...along with everyone else!


After Dale's ride we took the "Persian Chairlift" to the top... and they weren't kidding when they said to the top! It was probably 30 degrees colder up there, and we weren't prepared in our short sleeves and shorts! Burrrr! The kids complained the whole ride up...the further we went up, the colder it got.

By the time we got to the top there was still snow on the ground...crazy!
After a few snowballs we got back on the lift to go down...

it was even colder on the way down!

Taylor wanted one last ride down the slide, so we let him go by himself!
He felt like such a big kid!

We had such a great time in the mountains!
