This was last Monday for FHE. We took the kids to Sundance for the full moon lift rides. Last year we froze but still had a great time. This year I wanted to really make sure we only had a good time. I hate being cold and I always worry the kids are cold. So this year we were prepared. This is the kids in layer #1.
Layer #2, very soft and cozy.
Layer #3, they were hot! I have done my job.
Bella in line for our tickets.
We felt welcomed!
Up, up and away. We all felt very warm and snug under all our layers and fuzzy blankets. Such a treat to be in the cold mountain air. At the top of the mountain there was some snow. We loved every moment of our ride in the night. Right in front of us there were a group of boy singers who sang amazing songs like I'll make love to you by Boyz II Men. And some other wondrous of wonder songs that I can't remember right now. It is fun to watch everyone that goes by and hear little tidbits of what they are saying. Lots of laughter. The best was when a chair passed the one in front of us going the other way, they knew each other and said hi and everything. But after it passed the chair in front of us it came by us and you could her the girl say, I'm so glad I didn't go with them, I knew they would be singing the whole time. I think the kids feel special when we take them to this because they get to stay up late and are basically the only kids there.

oh my gosh i am laughing so hard! your pictures so perfectly capture the warm layers and thus the feeling of gritty cold up there in the mountain air. and so, in her coat, bella is actually in FOUR layers! so cute. she looks cozy and happy, they all do. and then the boyz to men songs, oh wow, that one in particular always cracked me up, how it goes..."throw your clothes on the floor, i'm gonna take my clothes off too...." okay this dude is taking his gross sexy self a little too seriously! i remember the ridiculous video - what a way to convince a girl! did those guys sing the songs word for word?
anyway this adventure looks so fun - i am glad you guys take the kids and they feel special to be way up high in the cold late night october sky.
How cool is that. I guess I wouldn't move from Utah if they had cool things like that to do with your kiddies. You are such a fun family.
LOL!!!! oh man if you dont laugh at this post than somethings wrong with you. That was the funniest seeing each of your kids in every layer...Orion looked like he was gonna bust! But it def looked worth it, what a great experience!

The more layers the better! You all looked like you had a ball. I have to admit though, I don't miss having to layer up like that, it was 82 degrees here yesterday, totally my kind of weather! I bet it was fun listening to those guys up front singing boys to men songs, I hope you were singing along ;)
