Utah Trip - Park City

So I literally have hundreds and hundreds of pictures from our trip to Utah but I've just pulled out a few here and there to share on the blog - I don't want to overwhelm anyone.  :)
We got to enjoy the company of the guinea pigs as we drove up to Utah because we knew we were going to be gone for a long time and figured it was just easier to bring them along rather than to ask someone to watch over them.  My parents were kind enough to babysit them at their house while we were in Park City.
We got to Utah and had a free day before heading up to the condo so we met up with Dan and Sarah and their kids. 
We all went to see "Cars 2" and the kids just loved it!
As is tradition, we went up to Heber before going to the condo to have some lunch and let the kids spend time with their cousins.  We stopped for lunch at the infamous "Dairy Keen" and the kids loved being surrounded by all the trains.
We then headed over to our usual park to feed the ducks and just relax for a while. 
It was beautiful up there and the kids even got to watch Uncle Paul do a little fishing.  
It was finally time to head over the condo at The Miner's Club in Park City.
We got situated in our beautiful rooms and then all decided to go on a gondola ride up the canyon.  We went out for a nice dinner after that and then got the kids to sleep.
The next day we headed up to the Alpine Slides which is another fun family tradition. 
The weather was gorgeous and all of our kids got to ride except for Tater-Tot.
We got to the top, hopped off the chair lift, and grabbed our sleds to head to the slides. 
Abi got to drive all alone in her sled this year and she was determined to be fast!  (Even though she ended up playing it safe and going extremely slow.)
The kids absolutely loved it and so did all of the adults!
Our next adventure was the roller coaster.  That is my favorite.  :)  Abi got to shoot down the mountainside with Grandma Sherry who is a very fast driver!
Bridger came down with mommy and we made sure to go as fast as possible too.
Tater-Tot got to have his turn on some rides and his favorite was the airplane!  He rode it twice and smiled the entire time. 
That night we got in our jammies and went down to the movie room to watch "Gnomeo and Juliet".
The kids finished off the evening by watching clips of  "The Angry Orange" on Matt's laptop.
Every morning we would meet over in Grandma and Grandpa's room for a yummy breakfast and cartoons before starting our day.  The ladies also got in fun-filled day of shopping at the outlets that lasted over 5 hours!  :)
Tate and his cousin Hailee became great little friends.
When the day came to pack up, the boys spent more time playing on the luggage cart than actually getting things into their bags. 
Our last adventure was over at the Park City park. 
The kids got to play for a little while before it started to rain so we headed out to Wendy's for lunch.
Park City is always such a fun family vacation and we made lots of memories this year!
Thanks Grandma and Grandpa Sherry!
