This mini-vacay was totally, totally amazing. I had never given Sundance Resort a second thought. In my head it was the land of richy-rich, and I really didn't care about checking it out. But then we had the opportunity to go, and I discovered I had been wrong all along. Ooooohhhhhh, how wrong I was! Sundance just became a destination for our family and even made us consider moving to Utah County! (But only for a minute.) It really is amazing, totally family friendly, with stunningly beautiful scenery and amazing food and accommodations. And, while I didn't experience it, they have a really cool artisan gig going on up there with painting and jewelry making and glass-blowing classes. In short, it felt like we were living in a Sundance catalog for the weekend. Except for Harper screaming all night the first night. That part I could do without.

| Bennett serenaded us on the way there. And all day every day we were there. |
 |
| Walking to dinner. Oh my goodness, this place is magically beautiful. We were there just after a nice snowstorm, so everything was so fresh and beautiful. |
 |
| Jason and the kids all enjoyed the mussels. |
 |
| It was snowing a little on our way back to our cabin. |
 |
| Plenty of icicles for all. |
 |
| Jason went out for a powder run first thing in the morning. He came back for the kids, and they had a great day on the mountain. |
 |
| Harper, Finn, and I had a lovely day, strolling around, browsing the shops, eating amazing food, and napping. We walked over to the lift to see the boys. |
 |
| Here come Bennett, Owen, and Jake. |
 |
| This has been an awesome year for Jake. He switched to snowboarding from skiing, and he is doing awesome! |
 |
| Our condo/cabin thing was so amazing. I want to live there. |
 |
| I know that if we ever build a house, I want a sunken area somewhere, because those stairs served as a perfect stage for the kids all weekend. There was much dancing and singing going on. Non-stop performances. |
 |
| We left Sunday morning, early enough to be home for church. Everyone was a little tired, but also pretty rejuventated. |
Yay for good family time! We can't wait for next year! Maybe one of these years we will all be skiing, and we won't even have a baby screaming all night... Maybe.

It's our favorite during spring/summer. The falls are gorgeous. the loop breath taking and it's so green. We never made it during winter but I am sure it was way fun too!
Oh, Sundance...that place occupies a large part of my heart. Only took 15 minutes from my house to get there, and my friends and I practically lived at our friend's cabin (AKA mansion in the woods) there all growing up. We would walk down to concerts, & hike to Stewart Falls. Sundance has a smell to it that is magical. Every home/cabin is gorgeous. The food is amazing. Did you have a "Sundance Apple?" I could go on. L.O.V.E. that place. So glad you discovered it. Can I stowaway next time you go?? I'll bring my own crying baby...
