FATHER'S DAY 2009 AT SNOWBIRD

For Father's Day we went to Snowbird with Daryl, Courtney, Brookie, & Lukas. We were joined by Darwin, Nicky, Ashley, and Darwin's parents. Darwin is one of Daryl's best friends. As we were driving up the canyon, it started raining and hailing! But the weather actually got better when we went higher up the canyon.

Bob and Colleen (in case you hadn't figured that out!)
Here are some pictures of our fun day!
Daryl with his two adorable children, Brookie and Lukas--

Lukas trying to drink water from water bottle!

Lukas is walking all over the place, so I tried to capture him walking!

Here is Brookie and Ashley--the "Little Princesses"

Grandma and Lukas. You can hold him if he can't see his mom!

This was a big pile of snow at the base of the mountain.


With the buffet that was bought, the dad's received a "free" ride on the tram, so we all went for a ride on the tram. It had been years since we had ridden this tram. It made me want to take up skiing again. Here are some pictures from the tram.

Here are the views of the valley and the parking lot from the tram.

So we get to the top of the mountain--Wow!The wind was blowing and it was somewhat cloudy, but we were still able to have a spectacular view!

Daryl & Darwin walking with their little girls--just touched me.

Then, of course, the men started a snowball fight! Ouch! That snow was hard!

The whole group--wait, where's Colleen? Ha Ha--taking the picture!

The whole group, wait, where's Bob? Ha Ha--taking the picture!


I saved the best for last! As we were waiting to ride the tram to ride up the mountain, these two "freaks" caught my attention. They were wearing tank tops, smoking, drinking beers and WEARING THEIR SKI GOGGLES!

Then when we were getting ready to come back down the mountain, here they were again getting ready to ski down! They thought I was pretty cool because I wanted to take their picture. Oh, I almost forgot they had some really serious tattoos, too!Hence, the tanktops, I'm sure.


All in all it was a fun fun day spending time with our family. We are very blessed to live in a state with such beautiful mountains which we can enjoy by driving about 30 minutes from our house. It felt good to get out of the valley and stand on top of the mountain!
