Snowboarding

So a few weekends ago we drove up to Snowbird ski resort to see some of Sam's family. Jeff and Patrice were there with both their families for a week long ski trip. It was so fun to see everyone and play tons of games and what not. We even went swimming in the heated pool one evening.. One day we went up just for a day of snowboarding with everyone and it was soo awesome! thanks for comin up guys! we had a blast!

beautiful ski slopes:me and jessie on the lift for the first run of the day:
