Week 7 of Summer Vacation - Park City

The last half of this past week we spent in Park City.  David took his last available vacation days and we played.  We spent one day at Lagoon (they have an awesome new roller coast called Cannibal).  We spent one day bike riding, playing tennis, playing some "huge" games on the lawn, watching movies, playing card games, etc.  And we spent one day at Park City Mountain Resort riding the Alpine Coaster, Alpine slides, zipline, etc. It was a very full and active few days with a couple of us getting sunburned in spite of the layers and layers of sun block we applied.  It always seems like we miss spots here and there.  On the last evening, we discovered that we could ride our bikes down the hill from our hotel and then get on a FREE gondola-type lift with our bikes, ride back up to our hotel and ride our bikes down again.  Needless to say, that is the best way to go bike riding.  Bike down, get a ride up, bike down again.  We did that for quite a while before we headed in for some more swimming, arcade time, and another movie.  There is no time to sleep on vacation because we need to cram in a lot of playing.  Hahahaha. The photography is complements of David, Rachel, Rebecca and Adam on their phones.  I decided to have a break from my camera and just be on vacation.  Enjoy our little slide show of random pics of our Little Park City Vacation.

Week 6 of Summer Vacation

2 main things happened this week..... Webelos Day Camp (Monday and Tuesday) and Soccer Tournaments for Rachel and Adam (Wednesday through Saturday).  A busy but fun week.  I did manage to squeeze in doing the laundry, weeding a little bit of the yard, and I made some apricot freezer jam which turned out to be delicious!!!!

A few pictures from Webelos Day Camp (I am the Webelos leader so I got to go too!!)

I took a lot of pictures of the tournaments so here is a short slide show...

Week 5 of Summer Vacation

Weeks 2, 3, and 4 are still to come since they mostly involved our trip to Peru.   Stay tuned for those pictures.  I may get through them all eventually.

This last week was great!  Even though I had a terrible cold and cough (which is now almost better) I still had lots of fun with my family.

Sunday, July 5th, we were still kind of celebrating the 4th since Rebecca made this yummy dessert for us.

Jared, Tori and Boston were with us until mid-week so I had lots of fun with my cute little grandson.  Boston especially likes Ace who hides behind Rebecca, or whatever else, to kind of avoid the little hands in his face.  Ace is so good with Boston though and lets him touch him, pull his tail, pinch him, etc.  Boston is learning to be gentle and I hope they will be good friends.

We went rock climbing and took Jared with us.  They had a fun time and are getting better and faster all the time.

Adam is the one with the Red and Blue shirt up high to the left

The girls went to girls camp for most of the week and had a great time in spite of the rain.  I don't have any pictures of that but hopefully I will soon.

Adam had a busy week with friends.... playing in the water, night games, sleep overs, Cowabunga Bay, Boondocks.  

It's never ending and he's having a blast.  Sometimes he gets completely worn out and so he spent Saturday afternoon sleeping on the couch.  Hahahaha

The week wouldn't be complete without a garden update and a craft update.  The garden is producing now and we are having great fresh produce.  The beets are especially delicious.  But I just found out last night that I am the only one who likes them.  Bummer.  I guess I'll be eating a lot of beets.

One more item finished and out of my project cupboard.   YAY!!

Happy 4th of July!!!

Our 4th of July was kind of laid back and relaxed this year.  David and I returned home from Peru on July 3rd (I will post my pictures of that a little later) and we both had colds.  Bummer.  So we cancelled our plans for a BBQ and just had a quiet dinner at home and then did a whole bunch of fireworks.  Jared and Tori arrived in time for dinner and the fireworks and Grandma Ginia was here as well since she took care of the kids while we were gone.

Earlier in the day, Adam was bored out of his mind and couldn't find anyone who could play with him.  He really wanted to do the slip 'n slide.  I finally agreed to go out and watch while he did it by himself.  It was fun for a few minutes but then he was bored once again.  So I figured I would squirt him with a squirt gun which would be fun for him but wouldn't get me wet.  Then David came out and I decided it would be fun to squirt him too.  Well, that was the end of it.  We had a big water fight and David and I both ended up slippin' and slidin' (which was actually really fun).  Soon Rachel joined the fun and added some trampoline jumping to the mix.  Thanks Rebecca for documenting our fun time by taking all the pictures (and staying dry).

I hope you enjoy the slide show.
