Snowbird

In my book, Snowbird is the most beautiful place to go in the hot month of August. It's breathtaking. It's so peaceful and serene, the wildflowers are in bloom, there is so much to do and it's 20 degrees cooler then in the hot city. Why have I never been to this place before?? Who knew just a short 1/2 hour drive could take me to what I call Heaven on Earth.

We decided to take a little family getaway in August, before school started. We stayed up at Snowbird for 3 days and just enjoyed the beauty of God's creations. We swam 4 times (my kids LOVE swimming), and enjoyed all the fun activities they have, and just relaxed and had a good time.

There was a fun park right outside our lodge








Here's Aubree on the Bungee trampoline. She figured out how to do back flips, and then we couldn't keep her off of it.

The view from our room was incredible, having an outside patio was amazing, I could have just
relaxed out there all day. Although, the railings were a little scary with kids, and we were on the top floor. Pretty sure those shouldn't pass code anymore.


There were only 2 people allowed on some of the chair lifts, so Maleah had to ride alone. She didn't mind at all.

Because the lines weren't long and we had an unlimited pass for all the activities, we probably got to ride this atleast 30 times. One time while going down, I hit and killed a potgut :)

I highly recommend Snowbird for a fun family getaway, or even just a day trip. You can buy unlimited passes for all the activities at Costco for $20 a person, or Snowbird also offers a stay and play package if you decide to spend the night. It's so worth it. The activities include, unlimited of everything: Alpine Slide, Tram Rides, Zipline, Monkey Jump, Bounce Houses, Bungee Trampoline, Rock climbing walls, and the Peruvian Chair Lift.

The Alpine slide!!!! I LOVE the alpine slide! Must go soon. What a fun trip. That is so crazy you experience road kill on the alpine slide.
