Bird


Last weekend Erek and I went away for a much needed relaxing vacation. We celebrated our 11th Wedding Anniversary! We had so much fun. We went up to the Snowbird Resort. Neither of us have really been there and it was so beautiful up the canyon. We left the Kids with my parents and headed up there Friday night. That evening we wondered around to see the place and had dinner. On Saturday, we headed up to Alta for a mountain bike ride, we were told the Snowbirds Mountains were "too Steep and Rocky" to ride. (Which we found out later that it wasn't really that bad). But we found a fun trail at Alta and rode for a little over an hour. It was a hard ride up but really fun coming down, I like the down hill much better then the up.
That afternoon, we went to ride the ZipRider - after waiting an hour and half. We also rode the chair lift up the mountain to the Tunnel at the top, and rode the mechanical bull. We didn't have the camera with us so we were kinda bummed about that but it was really fun. We got cleaned up and went to dinner at the Steak Pit, a very expensive restaurant up there, but it was so good. After dinner we rode the Tram up to the summit at 11,000 feet. It was high up and so beautiful as the sun was starting to set in the distance.On Sunday morning, after we checked out we headed over to a Sunday Brunch at one of the restaurants in the Cliff Lodge. It was a fancy place and tons of amazing food, but honestly I didn't eat $26 worth of food.
We had a great time and can't wait til we can get away again. I love you sweetie and am so happy that you are with me on this journey in Life. Happy Anniversary!

Reunion

Earlier this month, we had my family reunion. We go down to a Park in Provo every year, and we have been going since I was little. It is always so fun. there is a river that we all go and play in, lots of trees and open area, a pavilion, and then some sand and volleyball court. My kids love to play in the sand and had a great time burring each other in the sand.

Here are some pictures of the kids floating down the river. They had a great time playing in the water, even when it was kind of cold.
