We were off track in March and we started the break with a trip to meet my mom and Trisha at our timeshare in Brian Head Utah. 1st thing we did when we got there was put the indoor pool to use. It required us to walk through the snow to get there hence the reason for our outfits except for Andy. That kid would never survive living in a cold place where he couldn't wear shorts and flip flops all the time. Combination of hot tub, indoor pool air, elevation and dehydration resulted in my 1st passing out episode. Luckily Tyler was standing behind me so I didn't hit the ground. Good Job babe!
The 1st day there it was snowy and cold. We did venture out but it didn't last long. No matter how bundled up we were, we couldn't stay warm and occasionally a glove would fall off. Once the hands were cold, it was all over. Chase lasted a good 5 minutes I think. He did enjoy being pulled on the sled though and it was easier than holding him with all the snow clothes on.
Taylor and Ash thought it would be fun to go hiking through the snow that came up to their tummies. Andy tried to keep up with his crazy adventurous no fear sisters.
Thankfully the next day was beautiful. We signed the kids up for snowboarding and ski camp. I was SO nervous. It was an all day thing. We were supposed to drop them and pick them up in the afternoon. I was so worried they would hate it, that it was going to be too long of a day, that they would fall and get hurt and just want to be DONE. Boy was I ever wrong. They loved it! The ski resort was empty so the kids received private lessons. They totally exceeded my expectations.
How cute is this little snowboarder.
After only about a 5 minute instruction her instructor took her on the lift. Are you kidding me, I was freaking out.
But apparently I didn't need to. She rocked it!
At one point my mom, Trisha and I were at the bottom of the hill watching and Taylor came flying down the hill, smiling at us. We all started freaking out envisioning her eating it. We started saying "Taylor stop, Taylor stop!" She did, like it was nothing. Her instructor said he was so nervous. She purposely got in front of him and just took off. I love her fearless side but it makes me a little nervous.
Andy and Ashlyn were so funny. Ashlyn had a smile on her face the whole time.
Instruction time.
Looking pretty good.
Let's go on the lift....Are you kidding me?
But once again I didn't have to worry. They did so good. You always knew when they were coming down because they would be screaming and laughing the whole way down. It was awesome!
Hot Chocolate was a must have.
We were so impressed with Cannon who went skiing with his dad and did awesome. Check out his shirt...we learned that Cannon was soon to be a big brother! Yay for the Jacobsons!
More pool time.
The kids sure LOVE Cannon!
The last day we had to head home and couldn't stay all day so we did some tubing. The kids loved it. They were able to do it all by themselves and the faster the better. The workers said I could let Chase go down but he had to go alone. Little ones do it all the time he said...RIGHT?! He was content to be hooked up to this carousel thing.
Such a fun fun trip that I hope can become a tradition.
