1.) You get a lot of stares from the old and young alike. Apparently children are very scarce creatures at Sundance on the weekdays. I think our 9 kids made up the entire child population and Sundance that day. When you have a pack of 9 kids 8 years and under you tend to get some attention and stares of wonderment and concern. Once in a while when 1 mom would go to the bathroom and the other was slightly out of sight you would even get some sympathy stares. (yes even in utah)
2.) You feel very outnumbered and some how the oldest 6 kids convince all 3 moms that they can ride on the lift all by their big selves. We spared the lives of the 3 kids 2 years and under and made them ride with us.
3.) You are reminded once again that kids would rather play dangerously close to raging rivers, climb trees and chase each other on trails than relax and eat ice cream (imagine that). This leaves you finishing off more ice cream than you ever would on a normal basis...but you can't help it.
In the end you go home tired with disheveled hair and obvious signs of what you did and ate that day embedded into your clothing. You find yourself wondering if you would ever do this activity again. The answer from all 3 moms is an unexpected.... YES. I guess this activity it mother approved and recommended after all. (for a more enhanced experience some hired help or less kids is highly suggested)

Pretty cool that "moms" can accomplish the most amazing things! Especially with a ton of kids in tow! Way to go! Looks like fun!
I always enjoy reading your blog, you should be a story teller. Sounds like a fun way to spend an afternoon!
