The Cliff Club where we stayed
Last weekend we went to Snowbird to spend some time with Keith, Lynette and their kids at their time share. We had so much fun! The weather was nice and crisp. Which for us was great since it was still in the high 80's and didn't really feel like fall. The air smelled wonderful what with the crisp, cool breeze blowing through the Pines and the Quakind Aspens shaking their yellow leaves. We were about a week late to see the various colors that the Aspens can change into, but it didn't matter to me because the yellow was a gorgeous golden color and that is my favorite anyway.

The week that we went was the final week for the Oktober Fest. I remember us going as kids to the Oktober fest and being in awe of the musicians with their tuba's and their really neat costumes. I also remember looking at the various styles of Steins and wondering what they were used for. In high school I learned from Mr. Vreeken that they were used for drinking beer while they sang various wild renditions of beer drinking songs. This time there was still the musicians in their great costumes, Steins for sale and yes, there was beer to drink, (but not for me!) But there was also tons of craft booths. To keep all the kids happy there were activities to do that of course, cost money! For some reason I don't remember any of the craft booths when we went as a kid, but that is probably because as a kid you just don't care about that stuff, or maybe they just didn't have them then.

The kids were able to climb the climbing wall, go down the Alpine slide and look at some really cheap skis that some were able to talk their parents in to buying. Hey, for $10 or $15 in Kyler's case that isn't a bad deal. My skis cost way more than that when my parents bought them for me whene I was 19! The kids also went swimming in the pool at the Cliff Club and froze when they got out of the 80 degree pool. But since they were with their cousins, they didn't care.
It was really nice to have a break from the crazy every day activities and spend some quality time with cousins!
