Part 2 of our trip...Wolf Creek Lodge

We made the trek from Las Vegas to Ogden canyon to Wolf Creek Lodge where Tyler and Anna had their timeshare. It was 1:30 a.m. by the time we arrived. We had such a great time with my family. We watched movies, swam in the pool (many times) , the kids had many dances, and then we took a drive to Snow Basin. This was the highlight of the stay for Luke because he got to see SNOW! Yes snow in the end of June! We took the gondola up the mountain and got off at the top where it was GORGEOUS! Luke has always said he wants to see snow when we go to Utah but we always go to Utah and Idaho in the summer time so he never gets to see it. Well this time he got his wish. There was quite a bit of snow at the top and they had a blast throwing snowballs! Sunday we went to church at one of the wards in Eden and it just happened to be a "farewell" for a missionary. There were tons of visitors there and in Sunday School there were more visitors then there were members of their ward. During sacrament meeting Gavin flirted with the girls behind us the whole time! That kept him happy :) The time went too fast and before we knew it it was time for everyone to leave. Tyler flew home on Sunday morning so he and my dad drove back to Salt Lake on Saturday night. Then Heidi and Jeff and their family left Sunday after church and then Anna left to go to Idaho to see her family and we were the slow pokes and finally got packed and left. My kids were so excited to get back to Grandma and Grandpa's house. They remembered all their favorite things about Grandpa and Grandma's house and soon they had them wind the cuckoo clock so they could see the little bird come out, then they moved to the mooing cow cookie jar, and then they started playing with the little kitchen and the dress ups. They could stay here all trip and play with Grandma's toys and be has happy as could be! Emma can't believe that I was little once and that Grandma is my mom and that she is playing with my old toys. It's so fun to come home :) We also took a walk to the neighbors house and I got to see my old Bishop and young women's leaders, the Howells and the Lundquists. It was so fun to visit and reminisce.

Yea!!!! Emma finally got to be with Grandpa!

Gavin quickly warmed up to Brynlie and was already loving playing with her hair.


The pool exhausted Gavin and his daddy did the trick to get him to sleep.


Brynlie read a story to all the kids



Heidi had a princess game that was a hit with the girls
My kids LOVED having their Grandma and Grandpa, aunts and uncles and cousins to play with at the pool


Luke's favorite was the hot tub
Grandpa showed all the grandkids his swimming skills with his cool flippers and web hands.





Who's legs are who?


SNOW BASIN!!!!

Jeff and I were thinking of our blogs the whole trip! He is just as addicted as I am :)
Our kids just posed on the golf cart, the kids that got on right after ours actually turned the cart on and it was moving! Thank goodness our kids didn't pull that stunt.

On the gondola....








Luke cuddled right up to Brynlie to watch Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and Camp Rock.

Why do trips have to end???? Bye Reids! Thanks for the fun!

It hasn't occurred to me that your kids have never seen snow -- too weird!

Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow!
