Utah Trip
Ok...so it took me this long to recover from our Utah trip in December. Though it was a wonderful trip, I don't recommend traveling the week before Christmas. It made getting ready for Christmas more hectic than usual.
We left EARLY on Dec. 14th. When we arrived in Park City, there hadn't been "much snow" according to them. But people, let me tell you, for a girl who grew up in GA, it was a lot even then. Sam was soaking wet playing in the snow in every median. We immediately had to go to Old Navy, and buy waterproof snow clothes for him to wear for the week. If there was a pile of snow, he would be diving into it. It was a battle we chose not to fight, it was a lot like his usual attraction to puddles. By the time we left 5 days later, they had gotten over 25 inches in Park City. Temps ranged from -10 to about 20 degrees....but Sam never complained. His ears would be SO RED and I would have to beg him to come in for a break and to wear his ear band.
We were able to go snowmobiling (not my fave) as you see from Sam in the ski mask, he was ready for anything. The snow was so plentiful on the mountain, Sam stepped off of the path and I literally lost him. It was over his head!
Sam and Jim got to go snow tubing twice, and Sam learned how to ski. Jim was great teaching him. He just had Sam stand in between his skis, and off they went. I was impressed!
We all got to ride in a one horse open sleigh. This was my favorite part of the trip. The views were truly amazing!
The picture of Sam with the elves was before going on the Polar Express. Yes, that's right, we rode from Heber City all the way to the North Pole! It was a great trip....we are already trying to figure out how to go back next year....just not in December.
