Our annual trip with Britni’s Family was amazing — yet again!  We got a whole lot crammed into seven days.  Here are some of the highlights:

Waiting outside the car and Pizza Factory in St. George as Micah tooka business call inside the car.
Not moments later — I changed Dash’s dirty diaper in the rocks.
We were a sight to behold!

I took the kids on an adventure.
We went past the barbed wire and tried to get to the very top of a pretty big hill.

Here we are 3/4 of the way up.
(Check out our teeny tiny car way below us on the dirt road inlet.)
I had to make an executive decision to stop the hike because we were entering a very muddy and extremely steep area.
I might have treked on, but according to Dash — he needed to be held most of the time and I had falling kids.
It got a little too hairy.

My favorite part of the trip was when we took these two matchers skiing for the first time.
I was AMAZED at how well they did on their first day!
Scout was trying to take jumps the whole time, and Navy sucked the snow off her glove while zipping down the hill.
I had an absolute blast with them!

The sleeping arrangements always start out with the four oldest together.
It takes about 30 minutes, but someone is almost always sent into another bed for bugging the other kids.
I bet you couldn’t guess what person that was???
Hint — she wears a bow most of the time!

The morning we woke up to snow was so exciting for the kids.
Like usual — my cold lovers went right out into it.
At first they were trying to catch snowflakes with their tongues.

But then Scout and Dash made this microscopic snowman.
(If you can see the carrot in this picture, then you are looking at the snowman!)

Dash took the barn swing to the mouth.
It was a little ugly.

We headed to the U to visit our one and only — NayNay!

Then I drove to Seth’s to let Navy hang with Rose for the night so I could take Scout on the slopes again.
I was worried Navy would be bummed, but within a second of being there, she was in little girl heaven!

Scout was pumped to ski for a second day.
This day we braved a tone of easy slopes, and a few harder blues.
He hated the harder blues, but L O V E D the easier ones.

After skiing, we went to hang with the cousins, and all of the boys played a pretty legit game of football.
Scout loves being amongst all of his boy cousins!

And finally, we had to finish the week out.
And since we came like white trash, it was obvious that we would leave like white trash.
Here are the kids in their PJ’s in Primm.

Seastrands — Let’s hope this annual tradition never goes by the wayside.
It is WAY WAY WAY too much fun to skip!
Until next year!
