Park City

While out here in Utah my mom came up to Park City.  Every year my mom, grandma, and aunts come up and stay in a time share for a week.  I haven't been up there in a few years.  Living thousands of miles away tends to hinder things like that.  BUT, this year we were all in Utah at the same time.  We took full advantage and went up on Tuesday and Thrusday, spending as much time in the great outdoors as possible (plus shopping)!

On Tuesday we went down the park near main street and played for a few hours.  The kids made friends and loved being surrounded by the mountains.  We ate lunch and then headed out the new splash pad.



 It get a little over cast and chilly but the kids (really just Isaac) didn't let that stop him from getting soaked!

We shopped some of our favorite stores at the outlet and finsihed the day with a trip to McDonalds, the kids request.  It was great to just sit and talk with my mom while my kids were completely engaged in their happy meal toys.

THURSDAY, we came back and road the bus over to Silver Lake where took the kids on the chair lift up and over into Deer Valley.  At first I told my mom NO WAY was I taking Isaac and Spencer on a chair lift.  But in the end I did.  Isaac was terrified at first and then delcared, "Mom, this fun!  Don't let go of me, okay!"  Spencer just hung onto my for the most part like a little koala bear.




Then we were treated to some Cafe Rio and went back to the condo for swimming.  Again it was a little cold, but we swam until lips started turning blue.

Thanks Mom, Grandma, and Aunt Susan for your help with the kids and the great time!

Summer Adventures

After 24+ hours in the car, 5 states, 6 barf sessions, multiple pit stops, and nonstop movies...we arrived in UTAH!  The long awaited and anticpated road trip & vacation had begun.  We left Texas Friday and arrived in Utah Saturday afternoon/evening.  We started the night with an imprompto girls night out to go see the movie 17 Miracles.  Glad I brought my tissues. It helped me get into the pionner spirit with the upcoming holiday.  The kids have been in heaven, loving every second (excpet bedtime).  It's been nice to sit and relax and know that Ben's pager is not going to go off.

 The kids have been loving makeing crafts with Grandma!  

We all have been enjoying the cooler temperautres and playing outside as much as possible.
