Skiing in Utah

This past weekend we went to Ogden to take Cambria skiing for her first time. She was so good. Even the guy working there was surprised that she was only 3. She was so cute because she wasn't even paying any attention to where she was going most of the time, she was looking up and all around instead of in front of her, and she was humming jungle bells the whole time. It was so funny to watch. The weekend was great until Monday when we were almost all the way up to Powder Mountain and our oil pump in our car broke. We coasted all the way down to a town so that we could call a tow truck. It is a good thing our insurance covered that, but we ended up having to stay in Ogden until last night waiting for our car, which is still broken. They can't figure out what is wrong so Aaron's mom came to get us because Aaron couldn't miss anymore work. The girls were getting cranky, we were our of clean clothes, and we were stressed out about how much it is going to cost to fix our car, but we were grateful that Jaymee let us stay at her house!! To top of our weekend when we got home we didn't have a key to get in our house because it was on our car keys in Ogden, so we had to pay a locksmith $50 to come let us in. The good news is that it is impossible to break into our house!

This was the Dew Tour at Snowbasin. Jaymee works there and so we spent the day there walking around getting free stuff, and watching the men's snowboarding finals. It looks cold but we were all actually sweating because it was such a nice day and so warm!




This was on Saturday. I thought Cambria would be scared but she had no fear going down the mountain! They even took her up the ski lift on a bigger run and she loved it. This girl doesn't even like it when Aaron throws her up in the air and catches her, she is scared of the water when we swim, and she is pretty clumsy, but she loved skiing and is already asking to go again. Maybe we have a future olympian!


I rode the ski bike down the hill. It goes really fast.
The magic carpet takes you back to the top of the bunny hill so that you can go back down again. The place where we went was perfect for Cambria to learn because the hill was small and not too steep. We will have to take her again!

This was Ashlynn's first ride on a ski lift. She seemed to like it. It always kinda makes me nervous when we get on these.

Skiing is pretty fun. I didn't get to this weekend because I stayed in the lodge with Ashlynn and I had a cold. I want to try snowboarding next time i go. Brenna is better at snowboarding than skiing. We would go more often but it is expensive. The cheapest places are around $25 or $30 for a pass and then you have to rent skis and ski boots.

The Dew Tour was really cool. We got tons of free stuff and free mountain dew. We didn't get to see as many events as we would have liked to because Cambria got tired of walking around.
