One afternoon we wanted to take the kiddos up to Park City to let them see snow (yup, middle of June and they still had snow ... makes me even more excited that we don't live there) and to ride the Alpine Slide. We figured it'd be a good chance to let our kids try something new. They loved it! As soon as we pulled into where the Alpine Slide is, Tony saw the snow mound and asked the kiddos what they thought it was. Someone replied 'sand' and this dumb girl said 'salt'. Yup, should have known better!
Our little guys had never had the experience of blowing dandelions. Kai though it was a sucker and got a mouthful. Poor kid kept sticking out his tongue and would say "yucky".
Blake is a dandelion blowing champ!
Finally Daddy taught Kai and he liked it ... who knew blowing dandelions required such determination!
This is what little boys are supposed to do. Hike mountains and wander . Blake loved getting to run wild! In the distance you can see the snow. The kids warily walked towards it and touched it. I had just said "Lets not get wet, we've got a long day ahead of us". When I look up to see my hubby walking to the top of the mound carrying Kai. So, all the others quickly follow!
Once at the top, Tony instigated a snow ball fight. He didn't realize that they'd throw them when they are two feet from each other and that at this point, its not soft, fluffy snow but hard, crunchy ice. Aliya immediately got an ice ball to the eye ... Thanks for the good aim Tae!
Blakers of course loved it! When it was time to go, again I had just barely said "Come down carefully so you don't get wet" when Tony tells the kids to ski down on their feet. Um dear, our kids can ski! Tae immediately does it and ends up on her butt halfway down. Unfortunately she continued to slide down into the mud.
Blakers sees Tae start off and immediately joins in. He too slides into the mud! Aliya fared a little better but not much!
Tony was the only one to successfully navigate the skiing down. Once he hit the grass I thought he and Kai were goners for sure but he saved them both!
Ah, my cute family!
This is why I love little boys! He can pee anywhere (and typically does). Its so much more convenient! And can I tell you how much I love his skinny little bum!
What a good daddy Tony is!
We made it to the Alpine Slide and we're at the top ready to go! The kids were super excited!
Kai was a little confused how to go down! We had a ton of fun and cant wait to go again. Mountains are definitely something we miss here in Texas.

Snow in June! Yuck. It looks like sand to me too. Isn't it funny when you go "home" to visit and realize that your kids are having totally different experiences than you are when you grew up? I feel that way.
