on the Peruvian lift Wednesday eveningAnother summer adventure! We spent Wednesday and Thursday up at the Cliff Lodge (thanks to my Papa's yearly timeshare--a few cousins had spent time up there earlier in the week and then I used the last 3 days). It's funny how spring is just starting to make an appearance up at 8000 feet while summer is well on her way down in the valley. At any rate, it is always fun to get away--to escape the rigorous chores of daily life and just play for a few days. Joseph met us up there after work on Wednesday and then took Thursday off to hang out with us for the whole day.
We swam, soaked in our private, balcony hot tub, played games at the arcade, the kids did "a little art" during Liv's naps (while I read The Lost Symbol--finally...) and played Little People Uno with me, we did puzzles, watched movies, played at the Iron Blosam Lodge playground, went on a little hike to Lisa Falls, and enjoyed the company of both my parents and Joe's as well as tons of LeBaron cousins on Thursday evening.
You know how it goes...here come the pics:

our balcony hot tub
a visit from my parents Wednesday night--they brought homemade ice cream to share with us and then we played Ticket to Ride once the kids were in bed
snuggle buddies--even on a king size bed they found each other and slept soundly like this. cute.
heading up to Lisa Falls
Olivia loves the water--freezing, spring run-off or not she wants to touch it and play in it nonstop. I convinced her that throwing rocks into it was quite fun too.
our sweet baby--she is such a good sport on all of our outdoor endeavors
playing at the pool with grandpa Neil and Jim and his kids
warming up when Tillie arrived
the 3 four-year-old girls (Till's face is hilarious in this pic--love it)
Nanny and Grandpa with 5 of their 8 kiddos
the Johnny and Krista LeBs. We were so exited to see all 4 of them that night before they were off to CA and an Apple internship all summer.On Friday morning we sent Joseph to work, packed ourselves up and checked-out on a brisk, wet 42 degree morning. Sadly, it wasn't much warmer or drier at home but our yard looks amazing from all the rain...kind of jungle-like in places but very green and in full bloom. As soon as it warms up a bit we will get back in gear and shape it all up. Seems like we have already been doing that since May and yet there is always more!

tell me that pool was heated?! It looks cold up there!
So glad the kids did "a little art." WE are hoping for some of that in LP this year too.
I have such great memories of visiting Snowbird and Tutu and Papa when I was little. I do not remember their place having a hot tub though!
I have such fond Snowbird memories.
How fun to share that with your kiddos and take a random vacation day to be together as your own little family.
Thanks for letting us come share some of that fun Snowbird time with you. Those early Snowbird years with Tutu and Papa years ago are treasured memories for us, too. I am sure they are pleased that you got to enjoy it.
ahhh that was a fun picture post. Your hike looked beautiful and your kids are such little hiker troopers.
Thanks again for letting us hang with you guys. We had such a great time and it was fun to see everyone again.
So glad you got to use Cliff Lodge. It's a pleasure I'll dearly miss. Thanks for the fabulous pictures that ALMOST put me there with you.
