We spent this past weekend at Snowbird, where their annual Oktoberfest celebration is going on (it runs from mid-August through the end of October). We stayed at the Cliff Lodge and the kids couldn't have been happier. They LOVE staying in hotels. When we arrived they were skipping around the lobby saying "hotel! hotel!"
Claire didn't want to sleep in the portable crib provided by the hotel, so the sleeping arrangements went like this - three kids and me crammed in one bed; Keith stretched out in the other bed.
Luke got to ride the chairlift that he rode all winter during ski school and you'll notice in the background that they had bounce houses and a trampoline for kids...
The weather was beautiful...
The kids enjoyed hot dogs, while Keith and I sampled beer...
They had a face painter and Luke insisted on getting a mustache. So naturally, Anna HAD to have one too...
They have a heated pool and we spent a bunch of time there...
There were lots of races...
The alpine slide was a big hit for both kids... here's Anna riding with Daddy...
We rode the tram to the 11,000 ft. summit at Snowbird and hiked around a bit. But not for too long... it was really cold up there!
It was a really fun weekend. Though Big Cottonwood Canyon (located just on the other side of this ridge line) is our second home now, we will still always love Little Cottonwood, home to Snowbird and Alta.
Some people certainly take advantage! And it seems the W/Duffys enjoy the advantages and take advantage.(what did he just say?) beaut/pix Thanks! Love to all. G&G,B&B,M&D
