July 4th in Park City

For the 4th of July we decided to try to go somewhere cooler....
I mean as in temperature!
(Yes, it is midnight and I am blogging instead of sleeping and my humor is LAME)

 


Mike got us a great deal on KSL for a timeshare up at the Marriott for the weekend. We loaded up the trailer with our bike and the van with our kids and set out for some adventures.
Lots of swimming! Our kids are fish- they could swim all day.
Our room looked out to the Alpine Slide so we watched as people came down. Brigham could hardly wait to ride the slide. Some of us went on the gliders and some rode the lift up and came down on the Alpine slide. It was a blast to go so fast!
There were many, many critter friends crawling around on the ground below and we could do a whole page on just their pictures- courtesy of Katelyn. They were fun to watch!

We did lots of bike riding! Lucky for us we have an amazing Dad that let us ride down the mountain and then he biked back up the mountain to retrieve the trailer while we all played at the cool park. Brigham was able to ride along this time on his new bike. He was a trooper. Jessie rode along in the bike wagon and was happy to. The air feels cleaner in Park City and the views of the mountains were just so pretty to look at.

We went to the parade in downtown Park City, watched the firework show the Canyon's Resort put on and hit the outlets on our way in.

We had a great weekend and came home to a personal firework show right in our circle put on by the Ericksens. With the legalization of the big fireworks this year the show was amazing and we couldn't have gotten any closer! The turkeys enjoyed it as well from the Ericksen's garage.
