Discover Park City

Thanks to Grandma Susu we were able to have a mini vacation last week to Park City. Since skiing wasn't on our list (wish it was but so far we have not been brave enough to attempt it with 3 kiddos) anyhoo... since skiing wasn't on our list I was a little nervous what we were going to do to occupy our time.

NO WORRIES though! We had a blast and filled our days with fun!

On our agenda....
* Two shopping trips to the outlet mall

* Swimming in the outdoor pool.... YEP. I said outdoor. No cover, no heat lamps just a pool at a temperature of around 95 degrees. The kids LOVED it!! There was snow all around us but it didn't slow them down a bit. Yes, I did swim as well but the hot tub kept beckoning me back.

I loved that the hot tub was usually full of men from around the country who had taken the week off to come ski with their buddies. And then there was US :). The first question was always where we had been skiing that day and the next was where we were from. I'm sure they thought we were crazy that we only lived 35 minutes away and we were NOT skiing.

Saturday we stopped by some of the local ski resorts to watch the snowboarders do their thing off the jumps. At the Canyons they had a free ski lift that took you from the parking lot up to the resort. The kids thought it was awesome and we loved that it was Frrreeeeeeeeeee!!!!

Hanging out at the Canyons

We also spent some time on historic main street. The kids were easy to please and we spent most of the time riding the trolley up and down the street.

So the following pictures are so not in order but my computer is giving me some serious issues so we'll just be grateful to get them posted.

Friday night we took the kids to Midway to the Midway Ice Castles. It was breathtaking!! On the way there we passed this cute little coffee shop that we had to check out on the way back. It was SO cute. (Hot chocolate wasn't the best but the atmosphere absolutely made up for it!)

So now the pictures you've been waiting for. Don't mind that Troy looks possessed in the first one :)

We would definitely recommend going at night when it is all lit up. It is gorgeous!

And finally the girls and I had some down time together when Troy came back to work one day. We painted fingernails, watched chick-flicks and and baked valentines cupcakes.
