Our Week in Park City...

 I left for Park City Monday afternoon during the kids' nap time.  They slept the entire way there which is what I was wanting! All Payton could think about was swimming so you can bet the first thing we did when we got to our condo was swim.  Once the kids started shivering we decided we would go hang out in the hot tub for awhile.  That ended up being the kids' favorite place.

 Mom had forgotten to bring her medication that she injects weekly so I brought it up in the cooler when I came.  Well for some reason the cooler opened up and her medication fell out.  We didn't realize it had fallen out until we heard a pop from a golf cart running it over.  He was an employee of the Condo and he felt horrible.  He made sure everything would be alright and that mom could find her medication at a Pharmacy up there.  Well while we were swimming he brought up a package full of goodies and movie rentals which we thought was very sweet putting him above and beyond his duties.

 That night we went to a concert held in the park. Then eventually made our way to the park for the kids to play. Payton decided she would be brave and held onto the swing with one hand.  It didn't quite work, she flipped off the swing and landed on her stomach.  Thank goodness she walked away with only a cut finger.

 But at this point even s'mores  couldn't put a smile on her face.

 While we were in the other room watching the Olympics the kids fell asleep taking up the entire bed.  Thank goodness Payton is a good sleeper so I could move her onto the hide-a-bed.

 The next morning we woke up to Hot Air balloons soaring in the valley, mom insisted they were putting on a show for her birthday.

 We went on a nice bike ride which was down hill the entire way.  Good thing we drove the Durango to where we were ending or that would have been one heck of an up hill bike ride.

 Yummy Birthday Cake and ice cream for mom's birthday!!

 Wednesday we went to the Parade of Homes Show.  I love going to these because I love seeing peoples ideas on decorating and other things.  We also surprised Payton by going to the "UP" house that was in last years parade of homes.

 This year the parade of homes featured a mansion! It's not every day that you get to walk through a mansion! It was pretty big but I think I would choose some of the other homes we went through instead of this one.

 So excited to wear booties...

 Dancing in the Ballroom...

 So if you want to have a home like this you need to be Lionel Richie and Usher's manager.  You also need to be the manager of the Celion Dion Show in Las Vegas and a stage manager for Justin Bieber.  I know this because I asked the owner himself. Ya I'm pretty brave sometimes.

 The next morning we went for another bike ride, this one wasn't as easy as the other but it was beautiful and fun.

 Then we made our way to the Olympic Park to watch some practice runs of the Ariel Jumps.

 Mom and Dad did the zip lines.

 Friday we got up with out any plans for the day.  We decided to take a drive up a pass through Deer Valley. The view at the top was beautiful you could see mountain range after mountain range.

 We continued down to Brighton Ski Resort just to take a look.  Then we saw a nice boardwalk that went around Silver Lake.  It was BEAUTIFUL!! I was in awe about everything around me.  Especially since people were saying that every day there is a moose that comes down to the lake area.  Of course we wanted to see one.

 And sure enough we did!!

 On our way back up the pass we also saw a mom and baby moose...

 Friday night Nic finally made it up and I was so happy he did! It had been a long five days with out him and loved that he could come up for a night.  When we were in the condo the Olympics occupied our time which was ok since it started raining pretty hard.  So we all sat around and watched the Olympics.
 In the morning we went on the Coaster ride which is my favorite.  I am excited for Lagoon in a few weeks because Payton loved doing it all.

 Even the Zip line that they have for kids now.

 Since Connor is still too small for the other adventures we bought a few tickets to ride the train and marry-go-round.  They both loved the train until it literally derailed.  And Connor got whiplash and smacked his head.

 During the day us girls spent the afternoon shopping while the boys played golf.  It was a long day of shopping trying to find something for me to wear to the wedding.
Once we were all reunited and rejuvenated from our exhausting afternoon we made our way to the Alpine Slides and again Payton loved it! We also swam and went and got ice cream at the Java Cow before leaving to come home.

An accomplishment that we had while gone was Payton finally started swimming with her water wings by herself.  She usually has to be constantly held and would freak out if water splashed her face.  Were still working on the water thing, but that is slowly getting better.  She would swim the length of the pool several times and didn't want us to touch her.  Way to go Peanut!! Sadly I never got a video or picture of her swimming by herself.  This video is of our Noisy Boy who is completely opposite of his big sister.  He has no fear!
