Park City / Provo Trip!

With the kids having Friday off of school, we decided that we needed to have a little getaway! Last year we discovered that a few of the hotels in Park City offer an incredible deal to Veterans. Issac and I have used it, but this time decided to take the whole family and try one of the nicer places to stay. We were lucky and there was an opening for us to stay at the Silver King. We got a two bedroom suite, and boy was it SWEET!!!!

It had a full kitchen and everything. We ran across the street to the market and picked up some groceries to make dinner and have for breakfast the next morning.

I absolutely loved the dining area and the table.

The family room had a real wood burning fireplace, which would have been fun to use, if we hadn't needed the air on full blast the whole time. I can't believe the heat wave we are having in OCTOBER!!!

We rented a few movies to watch with popcorn, root beer floats, candy and whatever else the kids wanted. We went all out! :

The best part of the suite, besides of course that the kids had their own room, was that in the corner of the family room, we had our own private hot tub! We all enjoyed that! A LOT! :)

The rooms were very comfortable and decorated very nicely. The kids had a blast and can't wait to go back again.

The kids also had to try out the indoor/outdoor pool as well!

The next morning, we got up and headed out around Park City to see all the pretty colors. If we had been just another week or so, I think that it would have been even more amazing. We found this cute little park and we had an impromptu photo shoot.

I just love these gorgeous big blue eyes! They melt my heart every time I look in them.

After the pictures, everyone obliged mom, and we walked around Tanger Outlets for a little bit. I found some great deals and left very happy. We then headed to Provo, picked up a pizza and went to another park to eat. Then we headed to the Haunted River Boat Ride.

We got there a little early so we let all of the kids do the climbing wall. The three boys all got to climb at the same time. It was really fun to watch them all.

My little McKenna even took a turn, with Daddy's help, but I couldn't believe how good she was. She was pulling herself up and just getting higher and higher. She didn't quite make it to the top but just about. Once she looked down and realized just how high she was, she decided that she had had enough.

Then it was time for the boat ride. We were steered by a couple of pirates who told us stories, showed us all the carved pumpkins and lights, and protected us from the other pirate who tried to board us and gave us his loot! It was fun, though I'm not quite sure it was worth the $$$.

It was a wonderful weekend spent with the family though. I wish that we had the time and the means to take off and do things like this more often. The kids are growing up so fast and I know that before long, the boys especially wont even want to spend time out with the family like this. I truly loved the time that we had on this trip though, and grateful to have some fun pictures to help remember it all. :) Today, I am one happy momma!
