Our kids decided that they could have fun playing in the cold weather too. Good thing there are parks everywhere! They go a long way in warming Elise and Steven up to a place.
We saw all the changing leaves. It was very pretty. This is what it is like to have an actual Fall season!
Steven had his first encounter with snow, and decided he was just not a fan. He refused to step on it. If he was walking and came to a patch of snow, he would just freeze and wait for someone to pick him up and carry him over it.
We visited the "This is the Place" Monument. 
Dad read all the plaques while Mom chased Steven in circles and Elise picked all the dandelions and blew them to make wishes.
Finally the kids got tired of waiting for Dad to finish, and so they chased eachother across the plaques Dad was trying to read. Dad was not happy. Mom was too tired of chasing them in circles to care.
We spent WAY too much time in the car driving around, and Steven's only defenses were screaming or sleeping. We all preferred the sleeping.
We visited the Salt Lake Temple, where my kids refused to pose for a picture together. This was the best I could get.
All Elise wanted to do was dance on the "stage." What a nut.
Dad got some quality time with his biggest fan, Steven.
We all rode the ski lift up to the top of Sundance, against my better judgement. The whole time I kept picturing Steven jumping off, but Chris assured me he wouldn't let him do that, and told me I had too much of my mother in me. Yes, sometimes I worry a bit too much, but I think a two year old falling off a ski lift may be a legitimate concern.
Elise and Dad had a snowball fight at the top of Sundance. There wasn't much snow, but it amused Elise anyway.
Steven, once again, wanted nothing to do with touching the snow.
Chris and the kids looking out over the edge. Yikes!
Chris and Elise took off on a hike up the side of the mountain, leaving Steven behind. Steven was not pleased. He tried to take off after them, but his mean mom wouldn't let him get too far.
Steven actually even took a few steps on the snow trying to catch Dad and Elise up the side of the hill. Just a few though. Once he realized what he'd done, he turned around immediately and stepped off the snow. Then he just stood there staring up the hill at them, but refused to cross the snow.
Steven is such a Daddy's boy, he forgave Chris when they got back down the hill and wanted to snuggle him.
We rode the ski lift back down the hill, which was even scarier. Looking down, it seemed much steeper. Luckily, we all survived.

Looks like you had so much fun. I feel bad that it didn't work out to get together, but I'm glad you had a great time. I love all the photos...they are gorgeous and your kids are so cute.
Cute pictures! Look like you guys had a great time. I wish that we could have met up one day, but at least we got to see you guys last month. That's funny that Steven wanted nothing to do with the snow.
Looks like everyone had a great time. Thanks for sharing.
