4th of July Week In Utah!

The week of the 4th we were fortunate enough to spend the week up in the beautiful mountains of Utah with Wade's family. Wade's parents rented a huge cabin (8 bedrooms, 8 bathrooms, hot tub, pool table, foosball table, built-in home theatre room, flat screen t.v.'s, the list goes on) for the whole family. Everyone was able to be there at some point during the week and we were able to do lots of fun things with everyone! Wade and I got there Monday evening and just hung out and checked out this emaculate cabin. (I am still in shock that something this nice was out in the middle of nowhere-but I guess that's what happens when you have too much money-we'll never know what thats like!) Then on Tuesday we spent the day in Park City at the outlets with Wade's sister, husband and 4 kids (you can imagine how much fun it was to take 7 kids shopping). Wade and Geoff were nice enough though to let the kids play at the playground there, while Monica and I shopped-Thank You! Then on Wednesday we drove a little further north to spend the day at Lagoon. We went there last summer, but it was much more fun this time around to have cousins to go on rides with! The kids had a blast and Wade and I actually got to ride some rides together-usually we either ride alone or don't ride at all-so that was really nice. On Thursday we woke up and got the kids dressed in their cute 4th of July clothes Grandma bought them and attempted pictures, some of them turned out really cute, I didn't get too many of my kids because Mason decided to be a little stinker and throw a fit through the whole ordeal and then afterwards told me he hates taking pictures-I wonder where he gets that from-maybe his Dad? Then we took the kids to a pool in Park City that had a slide and a little whirlpool, again the kids had sooo much fun together and talked all the way back up the mountain about how they wanted to go back again tomorrow! On the 4th, we kind of all just hung out. The boys went on Rhino rides, the kids got in the hot tub, painted t-shirts, provided by Aunt Gerilyn (thank you, that was fun!), and my sister-in-law, Lara, and I played cards for about 2 hours and when we finally decided to quit, realized that we had been playing the game wrong the whole time-oh well, it was fun anyway! That night Wade's parents barbecued some yummy steaks and then we headed back down the mountain to watch some fireworks in Heber! We all had a good time and as we were packing up Saturday morning to head back to the heat, Jakob asked if we were going to do this every July-he had sooo much fun spending the week with his cousins! Thanks Grandma and Grandpa for everything-it was fun!
