Spring Break Day 1 - Park City

My father in law's snowsuit that I wore
Pulling our tubes to the pulley
A nice ride up the mountain

The top of the hill

This year we spent our spring break visiting Grandma and friends in Utah! While everyone in Utah was sick of the snow, we were delighted to leave sunny San Diego for a chance to play in the snow. It was actually snowing on our drive up there. Tyson's grandparents were nice enough to let us use their timeshare in Park City so for day 1 of spring break we spent tubing and snowmobiling. We went to a place called Gorgoza Park that was definitely geared for kids! They had a rope pull that pulled us up to the top of the hill where there were four different runs to choose from to head down. They also had a baby hill for younger kids, but as many of you may know, our kids are thrill seekers and so they wanted to go down the big hills. It's funny because at the bottom of the hill you had to pull your tube over to the rope pull to get pulled up. The kids were complaining how tired they were pulling their tubes over to the pulley. I told them, "When I was a kid, we had to hike all the way up to the top of the hill to go down!" I never thought I would hear myself saying the phrase When I was a kid. After tubing, they had a small snowmobile course with mini snowmobiles for kids to ride on their own. That was Connor's favorite. My favorite part of the day was when a really cute girl Connor's age kept throwing snowballs at him to flirt with him and he just laid in the snow and cried. He didn't know how to react. We told him that snowball fights were fun and not mean. Anyhow, every time she saw Connor she would throw a snowball at him. More posts to come on the rest of our trip!

Now I am jealous... Audrey had never even seen snow. We wanted to go to the mountains for a snow day this year, but is hasn't happened yet, and based on the weather lately, it isn't likely to happen at all! They look like they had a great time!
