Utah 2009
We had the best vacation with the Staffieri's in Utah. We stayed in a little town in the mountains called Eden, and had a blast skiing with the kids. It was their first time skiing, and it was awesome. They LOVED every minute of it. The most drama was getting them off the mountain at the end of the day! Lyla was happy, the kids were happy, we were exhausted from skiing, it was so great!
Marilyn took Lyla for a few days before she got there so we were able to ski with the older kids for a few days. It was great to be able to be together with them for those few days, without taking turns taking care of Lyla. We all missed her terribly, though, and were so happy to see her on Tuesday.

We skied the first day at Brighton, then the next day at Sundance. It was absolutely gorgeous...warm, clear, and sunny!
Michael was a little daredevil! After a few days of lessons, he was going for all the jumps, and trying to do tricks!
Madelyn enjoying the lift!

Mike and I love to ski together, it is really the only sport that we both enjoy doing!

The kids at Snow Basin. They loved being able to ski with their cousins. Here they are with Caleb.

Chelsea, Nicolas, and Matt
Michael got bored once he mastered skiing forward, he decided he wanted to learn how to ski backwards like the instructors!
We took the kids to Temple Square at the end of our stay, and had Lyla in her stroller all bundled up!

Michael was a little disappointed not to be sitting by the window on the way to Utah!

Lyla and I got to hang out together one day when the rest of the family went skiing. We met them for lunch in the lodge, and then got a few pictures outside. She loved being in the chilly air!
Gotta love her little tongue that always sticks out!

We are so grateful for the time we had to spend with family. It was a completely enjoyable trip, and one we hope to be able to do often!
