Californian Snowbirds

 One day while we were in Utah, my mother-in-law suggested we go to Snowbird, a Utah ski resort.  She said that they had many summertime activities for all ages.  So off we went.  It was so much fun!  First, we went on the alpine slide which snaked down the bunny hill through purple wildflowers. 

Then we tried the ropes course.  That was our favorite activity.  We wore a harness, then climbed up into a tall steel structure.  With the harness attached to a rail above our heads, we walked on across narrow planks and ropes fifteen feet above the ground, like a tightrope walker.  They had a mechanical bull, climbing wall, bungee trampoline, and monkey arms. 

After those activities, we rode the ski lift up the mountain to do some hiking.  Unfortunately, we were a little confused and when we arrived at the top, we discovered that we needed to hike up another 500 feet to arrive at our destination!  After that climb, we were done hiking for the day, but spent the day playing on all the other activities.  We came home exhausted and filled with memories.
