Deer Valley


Every year we go on a little vacation with my mom's side of the family. This year we stayed at the Silver Baron Lodge in Deer Valley. It was fab!

The first night we got there, got settled in for a minute, then went to a concert at Deer Valley. It was the Utah Symphony playing Disney songs. They had two huge screens playing clips of Disney movies during the songs, which Beckett loved. It's such a fun atmosphere up there, I'm glad we got to go!


 

Saturday morning we lounged around, exercised, and went to the pool at the lodge. The pool was great! They had a fun little slide that the kids went down a bunch. Beckett is so brave in the water, it kinda freaks us out a little bit.







That afternoon we went paddle boarding. They have a little pond right out in front of the resort, which is where they had the paddle boarding set up. Almost everyone tried it out. Beckett rode on the front of our paddle boards, he loved it. I thought he'd be a little apprehensive about it, but he wasn't at all.






While we were there we had some prank wars going on. Last week, while my aunt Shelly was in town we went swimming together. I put Harlow down for a nap and decided to get in the pool. As I did, ALL of my cousins (and Bree & Beckett) got together and smothered me with water, without letting up, for about 20 minutes. I tried to defend myself but 6 against 1 wasn't exactly a fair game.

SO....I told them all to watch out on this family vacation, because revenge was in the works :) I managed to get them all back, except for Gillian (but don't worry Gilly, it's coming). I woke up Avery & Parker with some nice ICE water on the face. I replaced the Oreo filling with toothpaste and got Bree (and almost Kylee). It was a good time.

That night we got family pictures done. We have had our share of family pictures this month! These were necessary though; my grandma has a big family portrait in her house right now that was back from when I was in high school. Everyone has changed a ton, there have been marriages, and children born....so it'll be nice to see an updated photo :)





Sunday, our last day, we packed up and went to the Park City Arts Festival. The kids were troopers and that's all we can ask for!



 

Thanks grandma and grandpa for the fun vaca!
