First Snow of the Season!

We just had an awesome weekend in Salt Lake City visiting my older brother, Matt, and sister-in-law, Brianna. When we got there on Thursday around noon, we visited the new outdoor mall downtown Salt Lake. It was sunny and 65 degrees. There were tons of fancy stores and we stopped in to have frozen yogurt with just about any topping you could possibly want...YUM!! We knew it was suppose to snow Friday or Saturday, so we made sure to also visit Park City up in the mountains that evening. We first stopped at the Tanger outlet mall, because Brianna wanted a new Coach purse, and Kevin and I bought some new Crocs. Then we went to a few shops on the downtown Park City strip and had dinner at the No Name Saloon & Grill. It was a cool place where Kevin got to experience a true buffalo burger. And they had a sweet patio with hundreds of heaters and heated benches so you don’t even feel like you are outside! Total ski bum town :) Then we went out for a few drinks (me = water or ginger ale) at Lindzee O'Michael's. I got a little nauseous from the windy road up and down the mountain and the altitude change, but it was worth it to see the beautiful mountains!! The next morning we woke up to SNOW and lots of it! It was beautiful!! We actually ran a few errands, made yummy grilled cheeses and tomato soup for lunch, hot tubbed in their back yard, laid around and watched a movie, then got ready for dinner at a pizza place with some of their friends. Saturday we again hungout around their house watching movies, and then in the afternoon we drove 20mins out to Riverton, Utah to see my aunt & uncle, Doug & Faye. The snow let up for a few hours so we were able to see their amazing backyard view of the mountains!! And of course their barn and horses. Doug & Faye made a delicious steak and potato dinner. I must have been craving baked potatoes because I demolished mine and ate Faye's too, ha! Then we played fun games: Sequence & Cranium. We had some great laughs!! Kevin built a rocking chair out of clay and Faye had to hum the tune of “Walk this Way”...hilariously good times :) And it continued to snow. Sunday morning we went to breakfast at this awesome place, I forget the name, but all 4 of us just devoured our meals. So delicious! Then we found a bar that had the Vikings game on for us to watch until it was time to catch our flight home. And to finish off our wonderful weekend...the Vikings won! And it stopped snowing and the sun came out on our drive to the airport. Of course, right? Thanks again for having us Matt & Brianna. You have a beautiful new home in a gorgeous city. But please move home soon because we love and miss you TOO much!!
