We slept in a bit this morning,
hit up Bubba’s next door for some breakfast,
And then headed into town for some windowshoping.
We got our fortunes from Pappy,
Bought way too many sweatshirts,
And then headed home to bundle up
(And get some cars to honk)
Before hitting up Snow King for some tubing!
A new friend in line offered to take our picture
And captured the scene really well
Cold, snowy fun!
Up the magic carpet
So we can head back down!
While I headed down solo,
Dad, Beck, and Wes tried out a group slide
A solo from Jack
And we all met at the bottom
Where Mom couldn’t help but take some pictures
The snowy light makes us look so good!
We had time for a couple rounds.
Our last time down,
We decided to go in big groups
You should have heard Mom cackling
On her ride down with Mema, Pappo,
And Wes
They went FLYING down the hill,
Got some air over the bumps
And made it all the way to the snow stops at the end.
Mom said the look on Pappo’s face was priceless—
She thought he was afraid they might all die
(But he said he loved every minute of it!)
Since the Cowboy Coaster was broken (boo!),
We headed into town to watch the Chiefs pull off a slim win
And try out a new brewery (Roadhouse—check it out! It’s a good one!)
Before we knew it,
It was time to get all gussied up for our big, fancy dinner out.
Mom made reservations at Gather months ago.
But first,
We headed back to Snow King
for their epic NYE torch parade down the mountain:
It was REALLY cool.
There were hundreds of skiers,
Each holding a torch in each hand,
Snaking their way down the mountain.
Ask Mom about the video!!!
Top it off with some fireworks
And we’re ready for dinner!
Gather was delicious…but waaay more expensive
Than anyone was prepared for.
Guess that’s NYE in Jackson!
We decided that was all the class we could muster for one night
And headed back to our cabins to ring in the new year
Charades and drinks
To welcome in 2024!
Some jaunty hats for our bottles…
And our NYE celebration is complete!
