snowbird

last weekend we decided to make a trip to utah since most of scott's extended family was getting together at snowbird (which is up in the mountains above the salt lake valley). i had vowed that i would never make that long road trip again, but i caved since none of scott's relatives had met brooklin yet and we hadn't seen them in a few years. we decided we'd leave at night around brooklin's bedtime so that she would hopefully sleep the whole way. well, after delaying the trip 24 hours because of a puking baby (that came out of nowhere!), we got on the road. we almost made it there with no problems. right after we stopped to get gas we had to stop again at a little podunk town because brooklin had completely filled her diaper with you know what. then, when we were headed up the mountains, about 6 miles away, she barfed all over her and her carseat. what a mess. i think it was a combo of her still being a little sick and getting carsick from the winding road. so, as soon as we got to snowbird brooklin hopped in the bathtub.


it took her a few more days to fully recover and get back to her normal self, but for the most part she was a pretty good girl. she slept well and played well. what more can you ask for when on vacation with a toddler?

we had a lot of fun visiting with family, swimming in the pool(heated of course), playing games and eating yummy food. the weather didn't quite cooperate so we spent a lot of time indoors, which if you know brooklin, you know she's not a fan of being cooped up inside all day. luckily we had a veranda for her to play on and get some fresh air.







i wish i had taken more pictures. i can't believe we didn't take any of the family. we weren't much into taking pictures i guess. oops. :) we did manage to get some cute ones of brookie though.
