Last weekend, we headed up to Snowbird ski resort and went for a ride on the Tram. It was quite a view and definitely not something anyone afraid of heights would enjoy. But, the views at the end were beautiful and we'll have to pack a picnic next time and enjoy lunch at the top.
See that teeny thing hanging by the cables? That's the tram we went for a ride in--it's used for skiers during ski season to get access to more runs:
The goober and I:
I forgot to take pictures at the top, but here's a view from the ride:
B and Andrew just chillin' at Snowbird:
The following week, the boys and I met up with my friend Michele and her kids and saw a free concert up at Deer Valley Ski Resort. It was a beautiful night and I'm sad we haven't made it up there for the other free shows--apparently they happen every Wednesday evening all summer long. It reminded me of First Friday at Frick in Pittsburgh or Ravinia in Chicago. Such a great way to enjoy a summer night...although I'd like to ditch the kids and enjoy some wine while watching next summer!
This is what a group looks like with 2 moms and 6 kids!
Andrew had a blast dancing and running around:
On Friday night we finally got out for our first night of camping! It's so sad that it took us until August to make it out there, but with buying a house and B's lack of weekends off this summer, we haven't had any other chance to get out there. Anyway, we loved getting our tent and gear out and giving the boys a chance to eat, sleep, and play outside for a night. Hopefully we can get out again soon and for longer! The boys did great sleeping in the tent, although Matthew decided there was no frickin' way he was gonna sleep in the pack-n-play when the rest of us were all together on the ground. Thus, I spent the night attempting to share my sleeping back with a nearly 2-year-old. Can't say I slept great, but everyone else did!
The men:
Have I told you that Matthew LOVES saying "CHEESE" whenever I try to take a picture?
Best idea ever--glowsticks to play with by the campfire! So fun!
Good morning Matthew!
Not so into saying cheese anymore:
Can't beat the fun of early morning at a campsite:
Matthew really enjoyed throwing rocks in the fire while Andrew worked on using the hammer as a lever to turn over big rocks:
So glad we got to do all this fun stuff last week and hopefully we can cram a bit more in before the snow starts falling. Although, B already has his ski pass and we are getting a little antsy for the snow. Hm, that's definitely the very first time I've said something so crazy!
