We went back up to Snowbird this afternoon to ride the Mountain Flyer, which was closed last time. The view up there is so pretty.

Day 180: Game Time
June 28
The girls and I are spending a few days with my parents until Chris flies in. My mom bought this game, Pictureka, for the girls to enjoy, but of course she had to enjoy it with them.
Day 179: At the Dentist
June 27
After discovering that it would cost $350 for each of the girls to visit our dentist in Portland, we opted to visit Chris's old dentist here in Salt Lake for 1/3 the cost. Today began a series of dental visits, since it turns out that each girl needs some work done. What a way to spend our vacation.
Day 177: You Get a Line & I'll Get a Pole
June 25
We went to the little town of Veyo for some crawdad fishing. All it took was a stick, some string, and a piece of bacon, and each of the girls pulled in crawdad after crawdad. We haven't had so much fun in a long time.
Day 176: St. George Temple
June 24
We beat the heat this afternoon with a trip to the St. George temple visitor's center.
Day 175: Ice Cream Goatee
June 23
After a hike in Zion National Park, a huge scoop of cookies & cream ice cream was just what Ellie needed.
Day 174: How Hot is It?
June 22
When the thermometer reached over 105 degrees, Vicki and Grandpa decided to try cooking an egg on the driveway. It didn't quite work out, but it was a worthy effort.
Day 173: Escape
June 21
We arrived in St. George today to temperatures over 100 degrees. The girls played outside for a little while before I discovered Vicki and Lexi escaping the heat by escaping into other worlds. Scenes like this one make this book-a-holic mama very happy.

Day 172: On Top of the World
June 20
We spent the day today with cousins at Snowbird Resort. The kids had a blast with the bungee trampolines, alpine slide, and bounce house, but a highlight for me was riding the tram to the top of the mountain. The view was absolutely stunning.
Day 170: There Goes My Diet
June 18
My friend Rachel treated me to lunch this afternoon at Bistro 23. This BLT with a fried egg was amazing.
Day 169: Fun With the Neighbors
June 17
Lately we have been getting together on a semi-regular basis with several neighborhood families for dinner and games. We were excited to finally have nice enough weather for the kids to all play outside while the grownups chatted and played games inside. Here, the kids are "cleaning up" their dinner dishes.
Day 168: Showcase
June 16
Vicki played in a mini-recital at her teacher's home today. Despite being so nervous she was nearly sick, she did pretty well. (And we learned an important lesson about practicing.)
