Summer Vacation

We love Snowbird.  My parents have gone up there every year since before I was born and it was my absolute favorite childhood tradition.  We go up with my Moms sister and her family and I have amazing memories from there.  My cousins and I are also great friends because of all the adventures we had there as kids.

We started with one room that sleeps 8 for 12 people.  Now that we're getting married and having kids of our own, we have 6 rooms in the lodge!  I am so excited that I get to share this tradition with my children and I hope they grow up making great memories with their own cousins. 

Here are a few (very few) pictures of this years trip.  I wanted to share more but my Mom's computer and I had a little fight...so I'll have more up later.  

Lucky you.

This year we did a whole lot of this:



And plenty of this:


We played with this aunt and cousin:

This is my older sisters youngest.  Ivy and Ava were major frenemies this year.  They would be having the best time together one moment and trying to rip each others hair out the next.  I love, love, loved hearing them giggle together but Stacy and I about ripped our own hair out trying to keep the two of them from killing each other. 


Davin got to come up a couple of days, I have some super cute pictures of him swimming with Ava, I can't wait to post those.  We saw lots of moose up close and baby birds being fed by their parents and squirrels and deer and woodchucks and all sorts of fun animals!

We also stayed up late playing games (we played a lot of Who? What? Where? Jr.  Haven't heard of it?  I'd suggest trying it out) and took lots of naps.  I love Snowbird!
