Snowbird

When Nick and I got home from Park City we decided to take the kids up to snowbird, it's octoberfest right now, and Jax loves going up there because it's in da mountains. When we told Jax that was where we were going he was so excited! When we were driving up there Jax said "When i am bigger can I climb dis mountain?" He is always talking about climbing mountains when he gets older. However, if he even thinks about climing Everest or some other crazy thing like that, he can think again! When we got up there Jax was less than thrilled that we had to park so far away and walk 100 miles just to get there, ok that might be a little bit of an exaggeration but that's what it felt like! I think all of Salt Lake was up there, it was so crowded! We had some lunch and then Jax spotted a guy making fun balloons so he went and stood in line with his money in his hand to give to the guy. When it was his turn to have his balloon made the guy asked him what he wanted and Jax said "a race car!" the guy said that he couldn't make a race car, but he could make him a sword. Jaxson's face lit up, the guy asked him if he waned a ninja sword or a pirate sword, and Jax told him that he wanted a pirate sword. The guy made him a cool sword with a holder around his waist for the sword and a pirate bandana! Jax thought this was just about the coolest thing and he had to show everyone we passed!!
Pretty cool huh?! Nick and Jax tried to ride the alpine slide but it was closed by the time he got done showing off his balloon. He was pretty bummed about this but daddy promised him that we would come back soon so that they could ride it. When it was time to go Jax said "how come we only stayed up in da mountains for 30 seconds?" Little did he know, we were up there for several hours, but to a little kid having so much fun, the time goes by quick!
