It's our annual October visit to Snowbird and it was insanely warm this year. I don't remember it ever being that warm for our October stay. I didn't even need my coat at the top of the tram. The downside was that the top of the tram was all muddy, but my kids still managed to find snowfields and made their snowball friends. Maddie stayed behind this year because she had a Halloween party to attend. For some reason, she thought that would be more fun than sharing a single room with her entire family!
Walking from the lodge to the Snowbird Center to ride the tram. Our timeshare always coincides with the Snowbird food drive so you can ride the tram in exchange for a can of food.
Walking back from the Snowbird Center. Ed and Olivia ran ahead to get her snowball in the freezer. Harrison and I enjoyed a leisurely stroll back to the Iron Blosam. Once we got to the lodge, we had the crazy notion of taking the stairs instead of the elevator. We climbed to the 11th floor. My legs are still screaming at me. Harrison didn't even start breathing hard until floor 9.
Olivia had to say goodbye to her snowball before we drove home. She found a good shady spot for it. Parting is such sweet sorrow!
Harrison was entertaining us with his dancing while we waited for Ed to bring the car around.
I tried to capture some of the autumn colors on our drive down the canyon. The canyon walls literally glowed red and orange from the leaves ... it was lovely.

How fun!! I remember as a kid my stepdad had a timeshare at the Iron Blossom around this same time of year. It might have even been the same week! This year has been totally different for weather. I remember a few times having to dig our car out of a few feet of snow some years. And sitting in the hot tub, and jumping out to lay in the snow and them jumping back in. Those were the days!! :)
I love Livi's hair in pig tails!
Looks like you had a fun weekend and good Pix.... We drove up Spanish Fork Canyon into Price, UT to visit Jerrod's family and it was absolutely gorgeous driving through all those FALL COLORS. I have been so sick all week we haven't enjoyed the festivities, except for I think I added Fuel to the fire by going to the U Football game yesterday. I want my voice back....
I can't believe how tall Liv and Harry are!! I love the pic of Livi when you are waiting for the car..so serious and gorgeous! Looks like lots of fun. Give them all a LOVE for me!!
Looks like you all had a good time. It is nice to get away every once in a while.
