*sigh*
We made sure we packed in all we could in just three short days.
Justin took the day off on Friday and we headed up to Snowbird. We bought a pass that allowed us to enjoy all of their fun activities and I don't know why we didn't do it sooner. It was also nice because at my favorite gas station if you bought your soda in this special green cup for one dollar, each cup gave you $10 off the ticket price. It was totally worth keeping up my diet coke habit for that. I mean, someone has to sacrifice, right?
It was a beautiful day, sunny, warm, delightful.
First, we took our turn on the mountain flyer, a giant zip line. We went on this multiple times.
The alpine slide was a hit. Unfortunately for Liam, he rode with me and I thought I was going fast but not fast enough for him. He realized that if you push the lever forward, it made you go faster and he said he wanted to ride by himself. I just imagined him flying off into the bushes. The line was super long when we went to do it again later in the day so he will have to wait until next year. Phew.
Then Luke polished his skills on the climbing wall. He made it up so fast on his turn that the guy said he could go again. And again. Luke was super happy.
There was a fun jumping pillow that the younger three tried out.
Then a fun ride on the tram.
Instead of riding the tram back down, we hiked down the mountain to the ski lift and rode it to the bottom. It was so pretty and refreshing being in the mountain air. I even saw a moose and her baby. Made my entire summer.
Then Justin and the boys played on the ropes course.
So coming back next year!
Then....football started. It was our inauguration game against Murray. We have three games to look forward to every Saturday. It is like a full time job! We are basically at the field from 9 am until 3. It will be nice though because since Skyline's program is so small there is just one team per age group so even when we travel away, each boy plays on the same field and none of them will ever play at the same time so we are able to see all the games. It was tricky last year trying to juggle who was going to what game and that was only with two players! I was relieved that I was being eased into this year with three.
Nick is #20:
Andrew is #52:
(I love this intense picture of him coming through the line :) )
and Luke is wearing his dad's #70.
After a full day of games, we had the Scrapper's baseball banquet. So fun. One of the moms set up a waterslide and the boys had a blast.
Then there was waterslide baseball.
The moms couldn't let all the boys have the fun so we decided to take a turn.
After the women went down, the dad's decided it was okay to join in. We had such a fun night and what a great way to end the summer.
