Just like
last year, we decided to head up to Snowbird again for the 4th of July. It's hot in the valley, and lovely and cool in the mountains. Plus, we love it there. We decided to stay the night this year as well. Grandpa and Nate were working, so Brynn, Emery and Bubba joined us for part of the day as well. We started off with the pancake breakfast.
Then headed over and rode the tram up to the top of Hidden Peak to enjoy the beautiful views.
The whole group together.
Can't wait to do some skiing here this winter. Actually, I can wait. I would gladly take many many more months of summer. :)
Then, we rode the alpine slide again. Josie rode with daddy, Piper rode with Bubba, and I rode with Piper's babydoll while Brynn and Emery waited at the bottom.
During the afternoon, Brynnie and Bubba headed home, so we checked into our hotel and did some swimming at the hotel pool. We had a great time cooling off, then had dinner at the Mexican restaurant. The next day, we woke up, packed up and headed out only to find a note in the elevator that a rock slide overnight had closed the canyon. We had some weird torrential downpours in the middle of the night and the canyon was blocked off for the better part of the day.
So...with everything closed (employees couldn't get up the canyon), we made our own fun doing stuff like this. And chasing squirrels (which the girls call chick-munks) over and over.
Eventually we packed up the car and went for a little walk on a nature trail. At around 3 pm, we heard the canyon was open, so we headed home.
The next day, we met the Naisbitts up Bountiful Canyon to ride our side-by-side.
We rode to the top for some of these views. It was actually freezing up there and we didn't have any warm clothes (yet still 95 in the valley).
All in all, a great weekend. Happy birthday America.
