Brian Head

We had a wonderful weekend in Brian Head over Presidents' Day Weekend. We joined forces with two of our favorite couples in Vegas and their adorable babies for a weekend full of good food, great skiing, and an abundance of baby cuteness. We were able to stay at Niels' grandparents' condo, which is conveniently located right across from the ski resort. Here's the bundled up crew:
Niels, Claire, Matt, John, Lincoln, and David
Susie, Claire, Mimi, David, me, and John
The babies all did really well with time change and travel. John got a fever (potentially teething related... we await the verdict), but he still had fun playing with his friends.
We enjoyed playing games, endless conversation, watching movies, and just hanging out.
We rotated covering meals, so we enjoyed authentic Korean bulgogi beef lettuce wraps, Russian borsch, killer blueberry french toast with fresh squeezed OJ, and delicious chicken pot pie. In addition to the good food, the skiing was divine! It dumped snow on Saturday, so the visibility was low, but the powder was unparalleled. I was starting to worry that I had forgotten how to ski, trying to muscle through that powder. On Monday, we rotated couples again (so 2 couples were watching 3 babies and 1 couple was skiing) and the skiing conditions were just perfect. The snow came at the perfect time, so we were able to drive up and drive home safely. Our car was... well... you can see for yourself:
Overall, it was a great trip! Thanks to the Parkers and Jensens for all they did to pull off this fun adventure. We are grateful for such great friends!

  1. So cute! It will be fun to watch these three grow up! Two things I notice in John's picture....those bottom teeth are shining out pretty and white and it looks like John's practicing his basket ball moves in the bathtub...elbowing Lincoln out of the way!
