For New Years we headed up to Parowan to play in the snow. We had invited some friends to come with us, but their daughter got sick, and they stayed home. I was bummed at first, but we still had a great time! Wednesday we got up there are right away got our snow clothes on, and started to build a snow slide for Claire and Carlie! They had a blast going down the slide. It started getting really blizzard like, so we headed inside for the night, had some hot chocolate, and watched a movie.
Thursday we played outside for a good part of the morning. The girls came in and took a nap, then we got ready to head up to Brian Head (the Giant Steps lift) to watch the fireworks. We got up there an hour early, and got a perfect parking spot! We had planned on sitting on the tailgate of the truck, but it was FREEZING outside! So we flipped the truck around, and decided to sit in the front seats and watch the fireworks from inside. Then we ended up going back outside and standing in the snow with all the other people that came to see the fireworks. There was a DJ right at the bottom of the run, playing fun music, so we danced around while we waited for the festivities to start. Right at 6pm, the employees from BrianHead all rode up the ski lift with "Torches" (red flares) There were about 60 people all together on the ski lift. Once they all got to the top, the came down the ski run waving the torches. It was pretty dang cool! After that there was a 15 minute fireworks show! It was a lot of fun, and the girls really enjoyed everything! We headed back to the house, had dinner, watched a movie, and headed to bed! Aaron and I tried REALLY hard to stay up till midnight, but around 11:30 we were out!
Friday morning the girls played outside some more, then we packed up and headed home!
It was a fun trip with just our little family. The girls didnt fight very much, and it was very relaxing! I cant wait to go up again in a few weeks!
