Utah 08 Trip Report



Timp Rules! The skys were all socked in on our flight and I was sad to miss the fabulous view of the valley. But alas, Timp stood tall to welcome us in. The clouds broke long enough to get a peak of Ash & Bobby's house from the sky! Tender mercies!

Too old for Frostbite Black!


Heather can pull off anything - even frostbite black! Funny we were at opposing ends of the nation and all in extreme temperatures! As you get on the lift there is a sign that says, "Check your friends nose for frostbite." No kidding ... Ash and I both have peeling noses and Justin has a black spot on his cheek - serious stuff!

POWDER!


The powder hounds were back at it and love our secret trails and powdery meadows! It looked like a staged over-flocked Christmas card scene and was such a beautiful day! Missed the boys so maybe the mountains will call us back in March. xo

The newlyweds are doing great ... working, school and getting their apartment organized. Their style would be "Early-Marriage" with a little of this and a little of that. They finally got a new bed and Ry & Linz are conveniently moving to donate some goods to the cause. Happy 3 weeks! xo

Kids grow fast these days!


We were only gone 6 days and Cash barely fits in the stroller!

There's no place like home!


We left Utah in a blizzard! This much snow would gridlock us in Dallas, and maybe Utah should heed some caution! We were the 5th flight to attempt take off yesterday and it didn't go so well. The pilot aborted halfway down the runway and then trying to pull off, slid off the runway and got the front nose stuck. They closed the airport while 20 or so plows hit the runway again. Meanwhile, they had several men w/ square nose shovels (not snow shovels) dig to get us out and then used the little tug to tow us back. We had to re- de-ice and try it again. Needless to say, when we finally lifted off, the plane clapped and cheered with relief and after 6 hours on the aircraft, we were grateful to not be a story on the Nightly News.

Haley is a good cousin even tho Tanner says ... HELP ME GWAMMA!
