Sledding






The best part about living on a hill... sledding in your own back yard.

Utaaahh!!

We had a family reunion in Utah this year so we made it our vacation as well. Jason couldn't stay the whole time but did get to get in a couple games of golf so he was happy. I am still waiting on pictures from the reunion so unfortunately there are none of that. It was a lot of fun and will post it later.

We wanted Jason to have a vacation so we crammed as many activities that we could while he was still there. We went up to Sundance to where we took some of our engagement pictures and showed the kids around. My parents were able to come and we were so excited they did. We got some good pictures of them with our kids. Also, while we were there we saw Robert Redford, don't laugh he is the first person I have ever seen that has starred in a movie. So I had to get some pictures of him. I think it is pretty funny though because we were telling a few people about it and most of them didn't even know who he was. We felt pretty old! haha.


 There was so much snow still up on the mountains, when we left in July most of it was still there.







 There he is in the back ground, I think he was doing an interview
 This is how Collin felt about the whole thing



We also hiked Bridal Veil Falls. This was Collin and MadaLynns first time and they did great. It was so much fun. Josh and Christy came with us, it was great to have time with them. We miss you guys already. Everything was so green, we miss the green. It was so pretty up there. Next time we want to hike up to Stewart Falls.









 He loved it up there
 Thank you Josh for keeping Maddie safe.




We went to Park City for the day and did all the typical things you do in Park City, we swam and shopped but we also went on the rides at the resort. It was our first time on the roller coaster, Jason's first time on the zip line, and the kids first time on the alpine slide. We had so much fun. We will be going back next year for sure.

I wanted to take the kids and get their pictures done while we were there but due to lack of time I couldn't get an appointment anywhere I wanted. I ended up taking them out one day and taking some pictures of them with my camera. I am happy with them, the only problem is the glare on Maddie's glasses :)




 I love this picture, Collin had had and Maddie wanted to cheer him up :)



This picture captures his personality so well (especially the dirty knee)

After we took some pictures we stopped by and visited Uncle Steve. On this particular day, he was working on a farm. I know that these are just farm animals but my kids never see these animals where we live. They had a blast running around the farm and getting dirty. Thanks Steve for such a fun time.




He wasn't to sure about actually getting in with them :)














There you have it! Our WHOLE vacation but I am sure that we enjoyed it more :)
