Snowbird 2009

Brian's family gets together every other year at Snowbird for a big family reunion. It is so much fun. All of his aunts and uncles from California drive to Utah for the event. We eat a lot of food, and play about as hard as we can. (well there is a lot of relaxing too!)

We got up there on Thursday afternoon. After we got there we unpacked and got settled in our room. We went over to the playground and let the kids play. Scott and Allison had just got there, so they brought Abe and Henry down to play. It is so much fun to have them come to Utah. It is always fun to watch Annika play with her cousins. While we were playing at the playground we saw a moose. It was so cool. We came back from the playgound and decided to go down to the pool. After swimming we let the kids take a nap. After their nap we went out to dinner with everyone that was up there. After dinner we came back to the condo. Allison and Scott were taking Abe out to ride his bike so Annika and I tagged along. Annika really wanted to wear Abe's helmet. She got to ride his bike for a minute, but she is such a stinker, she doesn't want me to hold onto the handle bars, but she doesn't know how to steer. When we got back to the Condo, We had a surprise party for Scott. He is turning 30 at the beginning of September. He didn't know that the party was for him. We got him a Wii fit and a really fun game, so we stayed up late playing the wii.

Friday we hung out in the condo, and then Brian's whole family had a BBQ for lunch. We got a pavilion right next to the playground. It was really nice to be able to let the kids run around and play. Annika made some friends. I looked up and she was holding their hand walking out of the park. I guess I can't let Annika just run around without me close by. Friday night we had a dinner with everyone, and Grandpa LeBaron had made some Video's for us to watch.

Saturday we woke up and went to play tennis. After tennis, we came home and got ready and went over to go on the rides. They have an Alpine slide, and a zip line. We waited in line for a long time. We came home and ate some lunch.

Later that afternoon we all rode the tram to the top of the mountain. Annika loved the tram, she was laughing about the whole way up. Once at the top it is quite the view, so we looked around for a while, and rode the tram back down.

Then we left Annika at the bottom with Grandma and Grandpa and Henry and we rode the chair lift back up so that we could see the tunnel through the mountain. We came back down and went down the Alpine slide one more time. Then we headed back to the condo for dinner. After dinner the entire LeBaron clan took Grandma for a walk. We hiked up a trail and decided to take some pictures at the top. We got back and enjoyed some homemade ice cream, and went to bed. That night Annika didn't get much sleep. She woke up and got in bed with us and then was just squirming around. (this is not normal for her) She asked me for a drink so I got her one, and then she threw up. She threw up a couple more times, and then I think we finally got a couple hours of sleep. It was a long night.

Sunday the whole group got together for Breakfast, and then everyone was packing up to head home. Because Annika was sick, we didn't do much besides eat and pack up. It is always fun to go to snowbird. We had a great time.
