We just finished our timeshare week at the Iron Blossam resort at Snowbird last weekend. For the boys, the definite favorite attraction was the game room. They are young enough that they don't usually care if you actually put a quarter in. They think they are controlling the demo. Chandler is starting to wise up to that plan, though.
One of their favorite games was a snowmobile racing game called Arctic Thunder. Preston even beat Chandler a couple of times that they actually raced. The seat vibrates so it feels like you are really racing.

We went to this presentation given by this guy who is one of the trainers of the avalanche dogs at Snowbird. It was fascinating to hear about how the dogs are trained and how amazing they are at finding things in the snow. This dog, Emma, has had 5 "finds." Unfortunately, only one was alive. Avalanches are scary!
After the lecture, we all went out to the snow-covered tennis court for a demonstration. The trainer had previously hidden a glove in the snow.
The dog found it in about 10 seconds. It was pretty impressive!
Another BIG highlight is the heated swimming pool. It is outdoors, but they keep it really warm. Joyce, Heidi/Tyson even came up for swim and lunch one day. Swimming with the boys has become much easier thanks to their new life jackets. They just do their own thing the whole time. I do still watch them in case you're worried about their safety.
Look at the amazing view behind the pool. Last Friday, it even snowed while we were swimming. How often do you get to swim in the snow in May? We had a great time!

Of course you still watch them! It's just a lot more relaxing from a lawn chair :-) Better bring a pocketful of quarters next year for the games
Jared,
Those were some fun times at your timeshare. It looks like you're carrying on the great memories. Have a good one!

Looks like great fun. Nice haircut Preston!
Scott and I were almost at Iron Blossom at the same time as you. Lucky for you, you didn't have to see my fat butt in a swimsuit and we went to Midway instead. It sure would have been fun to see you though!
