Ranch Weekend


Blake pointing at the clouds overhead predicting a storm...he was right!

Savannah may have had the most fun of us all on this trip. I think she's going to sleep for the next several days!

The cowboy way:)


 



 
Pretty Em...this is the FAVORITE dress these days- I think this was day 5 of her wearing it!



Love watching the summer sunsets from the porch swing with a glass of wine!

Beautiful Cabin Weekend

 We were finally able to make it to the cabin and we picked the perfect weekend. Usually it's disappointing when the water is low, but the low water made it so much fun for the kids. They could walk through the creek and explore without the fear of being washed away.
 

 It started raining at about 4:00 a.m. Saturday morning and continued until the early afternoon. The rain picked up again about 6:00 p.m. It was the perfect, calm, steady, let's-play-in-it kind of rain. The kiddos put on their rain boots and splashed away. :)






 When the rain starting pouring a bit harder the kids played some games on the porch and I was able to read. Such a relaxing afternoon!




All the necessities for a hike!








The berries are starting to come in. They should be perfect when we go back in a couple of weeks.


FUN weekend! We're trying to live it up each day and weekend. School days are right around the corner!

A Quarter's Worth

Me: "Blake, if you can tell me what coin this is, you can keep it."
Blake: "It's a quarter!"
Me: "Great! Do you know what its value is?"
Blake: "25 minutes!"
Me: "I wish!"
:)
And, of course, after Blake had his picture taken with a quarter, Emmie wanted her picture taken with a quarter too. :)

Happy Thursday!

Park City- Part 2

Fun, Fun, Fun! This is a pic of part of the Alpine Slide from the lift. You take the lift up and the slide down. You can also take a roller coaster down, but I thought it may be too scary for the kids- next time!




Blake loved his "race car" that he got to ride down the slide.


Ready, Set, Go! *Side note- we beat the boys:)







Emerson dancing at an outdoor concert that they have in Park City every Wednesday night. There were tons of people with blankets, bottles of wine, and lots of kids. Blake and Emerson were in heaven playing with all the big kids.

Emerson with her purple bear that was the favorite stuffed animal of the week.


City Park Playground







My unsuccessful attempt for a good picture of my silly duo:)





Time for a treat! Will Smith ate at the shop the day before us, so I figured it would be good;). The kids weren't disappointed!
 







We stopped at the Olympic Park to check out the museum and watch the Australian ski team practice. AMAZING!









 Monkey Mountain





Loved our Park City vacation! We'll definitely be back!!! :)
