Vacation!

Hello!

Our first big adventure was last Sunday when we headed to Snowbird. Snowbird is a ski resort in the winter and summer adventure park in the summer! I am proud to share, that I rode/did almost every adventure ride that the boys did!

But first, I ran into the boys playing a game of baseball in our room! (they were using a floating pool ball and an empty water bottle.)

The first adventure was taking a ski lift up to the top of the trail area to ride the Alpine Slide down.

I rode with Sam. He doesn’t enjoy riding any ski lifts and on this trip, that was how you got around, much to his non-enjoyment.

Can you spot Jason and Jack behind me?

This was my first Alpine Slide. Overall, not too bad, but I go pretty slow. No racing to the bottom for me. Especially after I saw a kid wipe out…Can you say skin rash. Ouch!

Then off to the Alpine Coaster. I enjoyed this more than te Alpine Slide. I actually went on this two times!!

We took a ride on this Tram to the top of the mountain, Hidden Peak. Tram do not have seat, but everyone packs in and stands. (EEK!)

Jack thought the view was excellent and stood right up in front.

Sam and I, not so much. it took us 7 minutes to get up to the top. A long 7 minutes.

But the ride was well worth the views!

After the 7 minute ride down the Tram (which we thought was much quicker than up) the boys headed to the flyer. You get on this two seat ride and it pulls you up backwards, holds you there a few seconds and then lets you fly down to the start.

I told Jason he was on his own with that one., BUT the gal said he needed to ride with someone. Lucky me. I must say, it actually  too bad. It looks worse then it actually was.

The next stop was the rope climb. All four of us strapped in and started to climb. I did two walk overs, announced this wasn’t for me and climbed down. Everything you walked over was not stable. It was either logs, a rope, two ropes, just not for me. Jack fell in love with the rope climb!!

Finally, I was done. There was NO WAY I was going to do the free fall jump. You jump off a platform and free fall for about 10 feet. At that time, the rope tightens and you are then lowered the rest of the way. Sam and Jack both jumped!

Realized when Jack jumped the second time, the perspective of the jump from another angle was much more dramatic!!

The boys actually went off to do a bungee jump trampoline and a climb wall. I said I was done, found a table with an umbrella and listened to a local band!

We honestly thought we would spend 2-3 hours here, but stayed about five hours! It was a great place…not too crowded when we were there, highly recommend a visit if you head to Utah in the summer.
