My parents invited us to go with them to Sun Valley this weekend along with my brother and his family to just hang out. They had a 5 bedroom, 5 bathroom "cottage" they were staying in and it was wonderful.
When we got there Friday afternoon we hit the outdoor pool.
It was so warm and fun with all the kids.
We went back and showered and bundled up for a sleigh ride.
The kids got to pet this HUGE dog while we waited.
We rode a sleigh pulled by 2 horses through the snow covered golf course and many times between trees for about 35 minutes to a restauraunt where we ate a super yummy dinner. Thankfully the kids all behaved pretty well too.
After the sleigh ride we walked around and saw a few ice sculptures like this chair.
Saturday we got to ride the gondola up the ski hill multiple times.
Ella smiled before it started.
And then instantly decided it was a little scary once it moved up the hill. We had to move her to the other side so she could see up the hill and not down. Then she loved it.
I could have rode it a few more times, it really was beautiful up there. However, it was FREEZING and the kids didn't have snow pants so we needed to be done.
We went back and got in pajamas and all the kids grabbed an electronic device. The younger kids took a nap while the moms got groceries and the dads watched football.
We were having so much fun we transferred "cottages" and stayed another night. We did a 9:00pm swimming trip with the older kids and grandma and grandpa watched the babies.
So much fun! We really are so spoiled to be able to go enjoy such a luxury vacation like that. It was beautiful, relaxing, fun and something we will remember. We got to forget about the worries of home, school, church callings, etc for a few days. I'm glad all the cousins can be good friends and that my parents are so patient with these crazy 6 girls. We are so blessed.
