Salt Lake City, UT


Just to record a few milestones in case I don't ever get them in the baby book:

First wave: October 28, 2008

Started saying "baba" on November 1, 2008

First word: "Mama" on November 13, 2008

We went to Salt Lake City, UT this past weekend to visit friends, Nicol and Craig. They live in the canyon on the way to Alta Ski Resort.

We got on the flights on the way out and Mommy even had an empty seat next to her so Lizzie got to sit in the seat and play.

The views of the city are gorgeous and they are 20 minutes from the mountain for great skiing. We got out there on Friday night and ate at one of the local taco joints and enjoyed our Utah 3.2% beer. On Saturday, we went for a walk in the field near their house and Lizzie took a nap in the carrier. Nicol watched Elizabeth while Mommy and Daddy went for a run up the canyon. It was supposed to be 1.5 hours, but ended up being an hour and 45 minutes and Mommy was complaining by the end, despite the gorgeous scenery and sunny skies.


















That afternoon, we decided to take advantage of ski for free after 3. We all headed up to Alta, dressed in Craig and Nicol's extra ski gear. We borrowed new gear from the shop and Craig wore Elizabeth for her first skiing ever. She seemed interested, but fell asleep on the second run because she was so cozy in the wrap and inside Craig's coat!

To quote Drew "Why does baby Elizabeth have goggles on? She looks silly!" I'll have to agree with him...it does look a bit odd! It makes her head look...interesting...
It looks like you guys had a great trip! Glad you made it out there!
