My kids and I have always loved going to Sundance, and heading up the lift.
It is by far one of my favorite places to take pictures, my kids love exploring and hiking around, and I think it’s a perfect Sunday afternoon activity when on vacation.
I was excited to show Micah what all the hype is about.
For the first time ever, I let Scout ride up by himself.
I knew he is responsible enough, and mature enough to never fool around on the gondola.
Micah and I got our very own special date with Icka on the way up.
We tried spotting animals, lost items of clothing, and necklaces thrown on the pine trees.
We were followed by the little ones with B and Nonnie, and Bella’s family on another gondola.
You’ll be surprised to see Scout immediately finding the vending machine and looking for change!
You probably won’t be surprised to know that he found three quarters.
Once we were up, I started taking pics.
How darling are these kids of mine!
And the husband too!
And can you believe it???
I am finally in a photo with my family because Tristen was there to take a few photos!
I couldn’t resist a photo with this amazing scenery.
I really think winter or summer, this might be one of the most beautiful places ever.
Unfortunately, my past experiences — beauty and all — have been way more fun. I credit it to really, really tired kids. But man were they cranky. Dash cried about six times. Scout didn’t smile much. Navy tried to put on a happy face for the click of the camera. And Pippi just didn’t do much to make a family photo session easy. So finally, we let the kids loose to explore, and I took some candid photos.
Candids are usually my favorite anyway.
But I think the expressions on their faces in this picture express exactly what I was feeling….
Let’s get the heck out of here!
So off we went.
