Snowbird

The kids decided that instead of our usual day at Lagoon they would like to try the summer activities at Snowbird Ski Resort. Last year we took a tram ride and saw all of the fun things they offer in the summer. At the top of the ski lift we took a minute to play in the snow. Brett let us know that he was the only smart one, wearing long pants, because it was pretty cold up there.
The kids and Dave enjoyed the Mechanical Bull.

The ride up the ski lift was chilly and breezy. The kids (even Paige) enjoyed waving and shouting at those on their way down the lift. We also spotted some fat, furry marmets.


The bungy trampoline was a lot of work, but almost everyone got in at least a few flips.

The zip line was fun, but not as thrilling as you might think.
Brett enjoyed the ropes course (even though it doesn't look like it in this picture), where you are tethered in on the top bar and make your way around the ropes and steps of the course.
Everyones favorite thing was the alpine slide. We all had fun racing and speeding down the track. That is until we started crashing. Dave, Brett and I all crashed and are still recovering from the scrapes and bruises. We (at least Dave and I) were more cautious after our injuries. It was a really fun day, one the kids will remember for a long time.
