When I did venture out to see what craziness ensued I saw Megan wearing this
You'd think I'd be use to her strange dress up style, but still I am surprised by her creations.
Later in the day I was able to capture this. Nothing I love more than to find her in a moment of quiet and thoughtfulness.
It was a slow day where the kids played and I cleaned for the most part while listening to Austenland. It's a lighthearted tale of a woman so in love with Mr. Darcy it was ruining her love life. Can't say it makes it onto my favorite list, but a fun read or I should say a good kind of book to listen to.
Later that night Adam and I went on a dinner adventure. In the freezing cold we got on a sleigh with 32 other individuals (8 in our party) and were pulled up the mountain to have dinner in a yurt. It was a beautiful ride, though not entirely enjoyable as it was so cold I covered as much face as possible. After a ride like that, you know in 10 degree weather, I was hoping for some amazing food. I'm sure it would have been to some, but I guess I was in the cheese burger/french fry kind of mood so venison with some type of squash was not what I had in mind. I'm not complaining as there were five other courses that were all delicious; red pepper soup and bread, watermelon fennel salad, sorbet, cheese course, and dessert. It was an interesting evening one that left me racing to the bathroom as soon as I got of the sled at the end of the night (11pm). The only bathroom up there was an outhouse in the cold and I chose not to venture in, but deal with being uncomfortable for a time.
I tried to take a photo on the way up with my small point and shoot, but without a flash it was all blackness and with the flash all I got was the snow bouncing off the sled. I was hoping to capture the mountains/trees in the magical light the moon was casting, but alas this is what I got.
in the yurt all bundled up.

What in the world? Dinner in a yurt? I thought you were going to a fancy place in Park City, I had no idea a sleigh ride and a yurt were involved.
I can't believe the girls let you sleep in! Waking up on my own and then reading in bed is one of my most favorite treats in life.
Amy-
I have heard about this yurt experience before. I read about it in the Salt Lake magazine.
Would you mind emailing me or posting the specifics about it?
I remember that I wanted Aaron and I to try that this winter.
Thanks!
Dana :)
That sounds like fun. Sorry that the food didn't satisfy your expectations. Jeremy and I were supposed to do something like that last year but Jeremy ended up having to go out of town at the last minute. Now, if you want a really yummy dinner adventure that doesn't involve sleighs, but really good food (read: a lot of cheese) you should go to to the Fireside Dinner at the Empire Canyon Lodge in Park City. Yum! It's raclette and chocolate fondue. Trust me, you can't go wrong!
That sounds wonderful, other than the venison. Not a fan.
Megan looks so sweet. I love that you capture your girls without their knowing it. Ryley always seems to sense when I am trying to photograph her.
Sounds like an amazing adventure... And so cold in a sled. Wow.
I found the info Amy. We are scheduled for February 15th.
Happy Valentine's Day to us! :)
This sounds so interesting! I have always wanted to go camping in a yurt! I can't imagine a sleigh ride and dinner in the yurt! So interesting! I am sure that it was fun to do something so different!
Sleeping in until you wake up? WOW! That must be pure heaven!!!
Love the photo of Megan!
That sounds like it would be just up my alley!! The food sounds fabulous, what a great dinner adventure.
I have to admit the 10 degree weather wouldn't be so fun, but it sounds like a great adventure with friends.
Darling photos. I love how you are able to capture your girls in their moments of being kids--so cute!
So nice the kids let you sleep in. I love mornings when I wake up on my own. Those pictures of Megan are beautiful. How priceless to capture such a sweet part of her personality.
Sounds like you and Adam had a nice adventure!
That does sound like an adventure! One I would really enjoy. I had no idea we had something like that around here.
