Park City

We went to Park City to spend the weekend in a condo for Shauna's 60th birthday.  It was so much fun.  We were there Friday to Sunday, and spent our time swimming, shopping (the girls), golfing (the boys), eating, and swimming some more.  Every Sunday during the summer on Historic Main Street is Park Silly.  A street market with things to buy, and fun things for the kids.  We met up with the Miners, Grandma B, and Stu and Chelsea for dinner at Squatter's the first night.  The power was out when we got back to the condo, so we went to bed pretty early.  The next day we woke up, and the men took the kids swimming while me, Shauna, Natalie, and Kallie went to the outlets.  It was fun, and we got lots of cute stuff!  Then we had lunch and swapped the men for the kids while they went golfing.  We pretty much hung around the condo because it was raining, but then it cleared up and we took the kids swimming again.  When Grandpa, Brett, and Brock got back we headed to Baja Cantina for dinner.  Delish!  The next morning we got packed up, and checked out of the condo, then headed up to Park Silly.  The kids played in the bouncy houses, and got their faces painted.  They got to pick one thing to buy, so they picked a fun bubble machine.  Then we headed back home.  It was such a fun weekend, and we were so happy to celebrate Grandma K's birthday for another weekend!

Swimming after the rain


Leila is getting braver and braver about putting her face in the water.





There were some older girls in the kids pool, and Jace was competing with them to see who could blow the water into the other's face first.  Jace was literally undefeated against all of them!  They're all way older than him too.  It was so funny!

Here he is breathing under water

I tried to get his face while he was blowing into the noodle.  It was so funny!  His eyes would get all big, and his face would turn red!

Leila and Griffies




Brock had to show his awesome archery skills since Jace has been taking classes.

And then Jace had to try it too

And Nix

Then we found the bouncy houses


 


Then, the best part.  The face painting.  Jace always wants to try to find something super creepy that looks like his eyes are open when they're closed.  He found a lizard, and Brock and I tried and tried to talk him out of it because it was so gross looking!  He insisted, and it ended up looking really cool!  Really creepy, but really cool.  People in line behind us were taking pictures of him, and the lady who painted it even took a picture at the end because it turned out better than her other picture of it!  The rest of the day people were asking if they could look at it, and telling him how cool it was.  It was pretty funny.  


She had a cool little stencil that made it look like he had scales.

The creepy eyes
And the finished product!


Nixon was next, and he wanted a scary scull

Pretty scary!

Here is the lady taking Jace's picture

Leila got a beautiful butterfly.  I'm so glad I have a girl to get pretty things!




So cute!  She did it blue to match her outfit


So fun!
On our way back, we bought the bubble maker and the kids had so much fun with it!

Oh my gosh! That lizard is incredible! I can't get over how cool it looks! Nix and Leila's are neat too, but Jace's takes the cake. I'm glad you had so much fun in Park City!
