Mom & Dad's day

Abigail and Sam celebrated Mom and Dad's anniversary with them today. A beautiful day in the mountains at Snow Basin. Sam and I rode the gondola to the top and mountain biked the 8 mile down hill. Cristal and Abigail hiked the trails around the base, relaxed on the mountainside, and listened to live music. Abigail loved the live music.

The mountain bike ride had an entertaining end; we rode down the mountainside to a live rendition of Santana's Black Magic Woman. Cristal tells me Abigail dug the guitar riffs. Sam could have done without the distractions on the switchbacks.

This is the second year in a row Cristal and I have celebrated an anniversary with the kids; and we're rather liking it. Previously it seemed we worked so hard to find a baby sitter option that we were stressed during whatever activity we were doing. Now we take the kids and go with the flow...and the flow was beautiful today. I wish my words could express the splendor of the day; perhaps photos will.
