The Navajo and the Sundance

Friday night we ate over at Brian and Natalie's. For being a such last minute ordeal, Miss Natalie threw together a rather amazing and very delicious Navajo Taco Feast. Oh, the Navajo taco. Complete bliss. Still thinking about it.

Following dinner, Kate and our niece, Cammie, watched Alice In Wonderland, while the adults gamed. We played Buzz Word, which happens to be made for the mind of Dave; he just makes the rest of us look like idiots. Of course, Team Blackhurst won. Team Robinson would have won had they been competing against me alone, but against Dave, they stood no chance.


The next morning, Dave and I sharpened up on our skiing skills. We met up with Dave's co-workers at Sundance for a second year in a row. You know, I always "think" I don't really like skiing, but once I make myself do it, I truly enjoy myself. I always start off really crappy, and then as the day progresses, I start to figure the whole thing out. And once I stopped falling down, I was able to take in the breathtaking, mountainous views. If you're like me and despise living in coldness, skiing is a good way to help you gain a little appreciation for Utah's winter wonderland.

The best part about skiing at Sundance is that you can ride to the very top of the lift and ski the Back Mountain (which offers Blue slopes the whole way down). There are some very cool quaint trails that take you past some cabins and things. And it's actually kind of romantical skiing alongside your honey.

At lunch, we all met up and ate together. Dave and I both got the Frito Pie (which, in greater detail, is a layer of Fritos + a layer of chili + a layer of cheese, all equaling the perfect comfort food for skiing).

Later that night, we should have soaked in a warm, bubble bath and slept to help our muscles recover; instead, Discovery Gateway (the children's museum) beckoned us. We'd been to the Museum of Play in New York and it was incredible, so we figured this must be cool too. Ehhh. Not so much. I think Utah might have slightly more children than New York so everything seemed extremely used and handled, plus it wasn't exactly cheap to get in.

Kate with the building blocks

The grocery store part was definitely fun, and they had some microscopes that were pretty cool. Kate had a good time, especially being there with Hayden and Parker...but I don't think we'll go back.

We finished of the evening at Jason's Deli. I happen to love Orem's Jason's Deli, but the Gateway's is...well, poo. It's not very clean, or friendly, or fast, or good. I think as long as I'm not going back to the children's museum, I'll also not go to back to that Jason's Deli.

Sunday morning the pain set in. Muscles we didn't even realize we had were screaming out in agony! But church, like every other week, was good. We really love our ward, and have a bishop that goes above and beyond to make our ward strong and united. Every week, Dave and I both comment about how much we enjoy going to church, which is pretty good thing, I think.
