sunrise.

^ the boys smiling for their season pass badges....I couldn't resist. And Kosty NEVER smiles so sweetly on command for me.  Lucky stranger.

Our neighbors/friends, the McConkie's invited us for a quick trip up north over the weekend. Sunrise gives free kids season passes if you donate a canned good and ride the lift on a specified day in October. We got up there pretty late, ate at a good mexican restaurant, woke up early and had breakfast at our hotel and let the kids swim, and headed up to the mountain. We rode the lift to the top and took million pictures and enjoyed the view. Kosty was super nervous about the lift, but begged to ride with the big boys on the way down. His nervous little face says it all. I've never seen Sunrise not covered in snow, but it sure was pretty. And gold trees are my favorite. Super fun weekend with good friends, happy kids, good food, and beautiful scenery.
