Park City... again


I know, I know - we go to Park City a lot. But we love it! This time we were with my mom, and my two sisters' families. Lacey needed an unexpected surgery to remove her gallbladder so she, Rob, and baby Travis only came up for a couple day trips, but Ryan and Kendyll stayed to play. Luckily she is recovering well. Nolan loved playing with all of his cousins. There was lots of swimming, shopping, eating, walking, and movie watching. It was great for me to know that my boys would sleep through the night so that I could stay up later than usual. It's a treat to stay up late sometimes... I see why kids like it! Thank you, thank you to my Mom and Dad who paid for the condo. It's always such a treat to go cool off and have fun with everyone.
If anyone is interested in a trip to Park City, here are some of our favorite things to see and do: Tanger Outlet shopping, eating at Kneaders, hiking, walking Main Street, Olympic Park, new splash pad at Newpark, swimming, caramel apples at Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory, and visiting the local (and very old) cemetary.
As always, Nolan said some funny things this trip. But our favorite was when Bryson would say "Konnichiwa" and Nolan would ALWAYS respond "But I do have bones! See!" He would then proceed to point to his bones. We're not sure why he had this response or what he thought Bryson was saying, but it happened several times.
Our own little family took one morning to go hiking. We found a beautiful 3.5 mile hike nestled in the pine trees. It opened into a gorgeous overlook of Jeremy Ranch. I know that over the next hot month we'll be thinking back to that lovely hike.

How nice to get up to cooler temps, although it still looks plenty hot in your pictures. Looks like fun - and always great to get away!

What a fun tradition to go to Park City every summer. The cooler temps sound wonderful! I'm glad Lacey is doing well and was able to come up at least for a couple days. That story where Nolan responded with pointing to his bones is hilarious! What a kid!
