City Creek

So there has been a huge project going on in downtown SLC for years.  It is called the city creek center.  Tons of shopping, housing, restaurants, etc.  They took the two old malls downtown and combined them in to one and it is owned by the Church of Jesus Christ of Later Day Saints.  There are big name stores that Utah has never had so it is a big deal.

Mom and I joked that while shopping for dresses for the wedding that neither of us would have the dresses we needed in time and that we would wind up last minute shopping at the City Creek for our dresses.  Welp, that happened, but we had a blast!!  There were a lot of fun performers, it was a gorgeous day for outdoor shopping, the food was good, and we found some dresses, on sale. Mostly it was just fun to put all the wedding stuff aside and just shop with my mom all day.

We found these hats that we got a kick out of and had to sneak a picture.  Like mother like daughter!

Davy's First Snowboarding Trip

So last summer on our family camp out, we did a hike that went through Brighton Ski Resort.  Davy saw the runs, lifts and half pipe and thought it was sweet, so I made him a promise.  I promised him that if he saved up enough money to pay for his lift ticket then I would pay for his snowboard rental and teach him to board.

Well, he worked hard and earned the money so I had to come through.  This was not an ideal snowboarding season, the snow (or lack there of) didn't even really come until late February, at which point, life was a little busy.  But, I made a promise so I found a night when I could take him night boarding and we had such a fun time!!  He did great!  There was one point where he took his board off on the mountain and set it down, but didn't realize that it would slide, so he had to chase it down the mountain, it was hilarious!!  Luckily, a tree stopped it, so he didn't have to chase it too far.

It was such a blast!  Davy is my oldest nephew and I had so much fun hanging out with him and teaching him how to do something that I love and that he is starting to love too!!  Here are some pics of our adventure.
