Park City 2010

Park City 2010
Man I love this place.

There was an old woman who lived in a shoe...with ratty lookin' kids;)  Cut us some slack...we're just finishing a long day at Lagoon!!


Gaga's tradition:  
A Scavenger hunt with prizes at the end!!



The girls, reunited!!  



The Will's....absolutely adorable;)



The boys on the lookout for Dinosaurs at the Ogden Dinosaur Museum.


 

As always, Georgie is off in her own little world, feeding dinosaurs or posing by the closest pink or purple thing.  She gets the "own little world" thing from me.  Not sure where the posing comes from!



After the Dino museum we took the kids to the Treehouse Museum, also in Ogden.  If you haven't been, GO!  It was an amazingly awesome imaginary adventure for kids.  We could have spent 5 more hours there.


The first ride at Lagoon found the kids a little wet.  And unnecessarily so.  The weather was PERFECT!






This cute little tushy we made play in ice cold snow run off up Mill Creek Canyon.  It was beautiful and reminiscent of my own childhood picnics up Little Cottonwood with my Gran and Grandpa.   The brown on her bum is mud...just to clarify.



Isaac felt like a hero jumping from stone to stone over running water.  He felt like a hero again when he decided he was tough enough to plunge his whole body into the ice water.  He loved it.



I love this photo.



Our pool day in Heber was a time to conquer fears.  After much coersion, encouragement, tears and then a brave example set by Reese, a girl!!, Isaac jumped off the 12 ft high dive!  What a brave boy!!



And Georgie did the low-but-high-for-her, dive as well as the long, windy, fast slide all by herself.

They grew up a little in Utah.  And that's what they keep doing every day, darnit!!

We also went to the Alpine slides and spent some time with Cousins.  But I didn't take out my camera.  I'm the worst!

Being in Utah is always a double edged sword.  We love it there so much, the weather, the mountains, the flowers, the food, the scenery, the cabin...it's almost more home to me than Houston.  I LOVE being there.  But it makes it that much harder to come back to our real home in Oklahoma.  Or even San Antonio for that matter!  But here we are, home again with the memories and Park City there to always return to.  Thanks Mom and Dad, for the cabin and the great vacation!
