Snowbird and Halloween

Last week was very busy for us, but so much fun! Every year, the last week in October, Barry's family gathers and spends a full week together at Snowbird. His parents own five condos at a resort and his family has been going for thirty one years now. It is such a neat tradition and we look forward to it each year. It is so much fun to spend so much time with the family and to be able to do so many fun things for a whole week so close to home. There are a ton of planned activities by the recreation team, and any time that isn't planned out we fill with swimming hiking and playing at the playground. It was such beautiful weather this time which is a little unusual so we took full advantage of it and spent a lot of time outside. Baylee could have walked around and explored for hours each day, and Aidan loved the playground and swimming. Aidan also got to decorate a fun shirt, do some string art, and play bingo. We had a family halloween party and had a pinata, yummy food, and a donut on a string eating contest. Things are getting more and more crowded. On any given day there is about 30 people there at one time. We eat all the dinners together (in one room, lol) which can make things a little hectic, but fun. There are 18 grankids (all but 3 came), and 7 great grandkids (all but 2 came). There were six babies age 21 months and younger there all week. It was so fun to watch them all play together (and fight). We came home Friday so that we could trick or treat in our neighborhood. The kids had a blast. Our neighborhood was so busy with trick or treaters and I loved it. The weather was perfect, the kids were adorable, and it was an awesome Halloween. I took over three hundred pictures over the last week so I cut it way down but here is a brief overview of some of our happenings. Sorry this took so long dad!
Baylee had to stop and pick up every leaf along this path that we were walking on. She loved exploring and collecting leaves, and pinecones.

We rode the tram up to the top of the mountain the first day we got there. Baylee was content to play with the dirt which was good because I was nervous about the steep cliffs. She seriously loves being outside.

Barry was showing Aidan some of his favorites snowboarding trails. I love watching these two when they don't know I am around. They are such good buddies.

Baylee and Barry watching Aidan bounce on the tramp-bungy thing. She wanted to jump so bad.

Baylee going for a little drive. She had so much fun at the playground. We were there for hours this day.

The girl can climb. I am not kidding. It's a little scary. She will climb on anything and everything and loves to jump from the top. She shakes her fingers and says "Two, Two, do!" and jumps. If you hear those words you need to get ready cause she is going. lol

This is a little hut that the kids discovered. Aidan had a gret time playing "the drums" and Baylee has to do everything her big brother does.

So cute.....she wasn't cooperating too well, but I still thinks it's adorable.

This is the donut eating contest. Aidan thought this was awesome! Baylee took a while to figure out what was going on, but finished the donut in record time.

This is the shirt that Aidan decorated. He had all of the family sign there name on the back and I think it will be a fun reminder for him.

This is a few of the kids getting ready for the parade. Aidan, Cayden, Baylee, and Kyler. There were a few more of our family babies there but getting all 7 of them in the picture wasn't happening. lol

Little Red Riding Hood and Buzz Lightyear right before we left to go trick or treating. I thought they both looked really stinking cute!
