This weekend Adam had the bad misfortune of having to do a briefing at Snowbird, with which he was allowed to bring his family. Well, the kids and I did not want him to suffer alone, so we agreed to go with. It wasn't too bad. We just had to endure a hotel room that had an amazingly wonderful (working I might add) A/C unit, three catered meals and two catered snacks each day, beautiful scenery, free tram ride, 12 hours of nonstop kids and playtime for Elaina (well, that is until she got kicked out of the program for running) and lots of time with Adam while he was being paid! It was wonderful!
Adam had to brief members of the National Guard and their spouses/girlfriends who had just returned home from Afghanistan on sexual assault. Fun! The briefing lasted about 30 minutes and then him and I volunteered to help out with the youth program for the guardsmen's kids. We were put in charge of (16) 5 & 6 year olds. It was a little (more like a lot)crazy the whole time, but it was good, fun, quality time spent with Adam. Austin obviously didn't love his time spent with his age group because it was about 10 minutes before we were asked to pick him up, but he did love the attention our 11 girls gave him. They all thought he was the funniest and cutest baby in the world!
Elaina, liked I mentioned earlier, had almost made it the entire day with her age group but an hour before pick up we got the call that she was asked to stop running and did not comply therefore needed to be picked up. The second day was a complete success for Elaina, though.
It was a great weekend and nice to do something different. We're really grateful for Adam's job and the opportunities that it has given us!
Our room had a window in the shower area. Elaina loved that she had her own bed.
A view of Salt Lake County from the tram stop. They are way too close to the edge! I was freaking out.
