We went for a Sunday drive up to snowbird today to escape the heat of the valley. We rode the tram up to the top of the mountain 11,500 feet and once we stepped out with the wind it was actually a bit chilly (probably 75 degrees) but compared to the 90 degrees at the bottom at the base of the tram and the 100 degrees in the valley that is cold. Ayden was a little reluctant to get on the tram but once we one it he loved it. He loved going over the towers that bumped up and down that hold the tram up, he thought that was great. Once we got up there we decided to hike down to the lift and ride that down instead of the tram. It was about a mile down and Ayden walked about 70% of it. Picking up lots of rocks ont he way.
Like I said it was still a little chilly up there and there are quite a few snow banks left so of course we had to play on that. Ayden had fun throwing snow on Dad and then we also ran into Sharee and her boyfriend up there so he thought it was great to throw snow on them as well. Cy threw snow on me and it is still dang cold!! Especially on bare skin!
Here is a little video of him walking down the mountain. I am going to admit I made Ayden hold my hand most of the way down the mountain (or cys hand), but when I was taking this it made me just a bit nervous watching him through the i phone. The video is a bit rough but at the end you can see how steep the side of the hill is that we were walking on.PS- Ayden did get a hair cut and I told the lady to leave it long cause his dad wants him to have the 'surfer' look, and well this is what we got. He's still cute but not quite as 'shaggy' as the last post :) Good think hair grows!
