Last month E got to see snow for the first time when we headed to Utah for a little skiing, shopping, and relaxing with friends. We spent a day in Deer Valley, in the lap of luxury at the St Regis (hooray for Starwood points!!), and then headed down the mountain to enjoy 4 more days in Park City. We met up with our friends Shazia & Ehfad and their lovely children Zara and Zain, and they invited another couple, Mashal and Sonny and their cute kids Aliya and Rohan.
I have virtually no pics of the kids playing together, as they rarely sat still, but take my word that they were adorable. Aliya was in love with E and showered him with hugs, kisses, and toys whenever she wasn't out tackling the slopes. The three older kids took ski lessons and Ethan and Rohan stayed back at the house with me and Rohan's nanny. I was so happy that Joe was able to hit the slopes with our friends, since I'm not really ski/snowboard material (and this didn't seem like the season to start, given the gestating person hanging around with me).
There was a really nice snowfall one evening, and we woke to a thick layer of snow for skiing and playing. E and I headed out in our new snow gear and played in a field nearby. He was mostly fascinated by my pink hat, but he allowed me to make snow angels with his squishy little body.
At Deer Valley, we enjoyed the apres-ski at the resort, where they sabre a bottle of champagne every night, as well as their daily hot cocoa service. E and his dad also got a kick out of the TV in the bathroom mirror - Mr Leaven wants one for our master bath!
We had a late afternoon flight on our last day, so we headed to Salt Lake City and visited the Mormon tabernacle then had a nice brunch. We're already looking forward to another cold-climate vacation next year!
