A Much Needed Vacation

As you can probably imagine our lives have been incredibly busy with all the business surrounding moving.  But, several months ago (before even considering a move) we had booked a vacation in Park City, Utah.  So, we gladly locked up our box-filled house and went to Utah for a week of much needed relaxation and sunshine!

I probably shouldn't be taking time out of my day to blog only 3 days before moving, but like my in-laws predicted I'm procrastinating!  So, here's a little look at our Utah adventure...

All settled in for our 14 hour car ride (we took the scenic route) to Park City.

As soon as Kai woke up, he wanted to know where the park was, since we'd been continually telling him the day before that we were driving to Park City :)  So, we quickly found a park and everybody (including Bryon obviously!) was happy.

Hard to see in this tiny picture, but here we are at a freestyle aerials show at Olympic Park.

Kai wasn't so impressed with the loud music and announcer.  But, he liked the skiers!

We ended off our first day with a picnic at Jordanelle State Park.  Kai was feeling very loving on this early Father's Day celebration. 

On Father's Day, Bryon's mom, dad and sister arrived to spend the rest of the week with us.  After they arrived, Kai wanted pretty much nothing to do with Bryon and me which made the rest of the week very relaxing for us!

My two favourite boys.  Thanks for being an amazing dad Bryon!

Out for a little hike at Deer Valley.

Loving the sunshine and the pools.

We went down into Salt Lake City one day and I was amazed by the Mormon temple.

After living with two very non-technological parents, Kai was amazed by his grandparents and aunty's iPads :)  

Kai loves these two so much!

Heading up the mountain for some alpine-sliding fun.

The birthday girl!

Giving the ball a little bit of help!

And out for some birthday dessert after a fun-filled day.

We did so many other things too, which weren't captured on the camera.  Bryon and his dad went mountain biking, we shopped, went on a date(!), and explored.  It was a lovely week!

Unfortunately, on our way home we blew a tire on our car which resulted in a 12 hour trip becoming a 17 hour trip.  Yikes!  Although our car was seriously "injured" and now in the shop for a week, I am just grateful that none of us were injured in the process.
