Valentines Day

This year I decided to surprise Russ with a Valentines night get away. He had talked about it before but I kept saying I didn't want to leave Kate. After she had her tubes she has been so much happier and sleeping better that I decided to do it. We both love skiing and snowboarding. I found some really cheap tickets to Canyons on KSL and then booked a night at Zermatt resort in Midway.  My mother in law was kind enough to watch the girls. We had fun skiing at the Canyons. It is my favorite resort. It is so big that we never had to wait in line for the lift. There are so many lifts and runs that we could have skied a different run all day if we wanted to. We stayed on my favorite side of the mountain the whole day though. Now that I have kids I am more cautious. I wasn't wearing a helmet (which I will start to do, it is so much safer). Before I had kids I would fly down the mountain so fast. I still went a decent speed, but Russ wishes I would have gone faster. The day before at work, I was talking with my co-worker about people that died from hitting their heads skiing, so that was on my mind. It was a beautiful day even though the snow wasn't great. (We are snow snobs, since we can have the greatest snow on earth (literally)).  It was a great weekend!

Russ got me these beautiful flowers. I would love to have fresh flowers everyday if they weren't so expensive!
