Vacation Part 2: Park City

Well...here is the long awaited 2nd half of our vacation. After the 3 days in Las Vegas, we drove up to Park City. The cooler weather was sooo much appreciated! The part of the trip that I was most nervous about was the drive...but Grant did great! He didn't cry once. We stopped in St. George and went to a McDonald's and then to the temple to take some pictures. We didn't stay too long...but Grant really had a nice time stretching his legs out walking around the temple.
We did a nice variety of things while Park City. We walked Main St. mulitiple times, did all the rides at the Park City Mountain Resort, went on a few ski lifts that showed us a bunch of beautiful scenery, ate at Cafe Rio (multiple times), went swimming and hiking and "whitewater" rafting, hung out at the Silly Sunday Street Fair, and watched the stars. It was a perfect combination of relaxing and doing different activities.
We even had a chance to visit BYU and Kirk's sister and her family and his brother. Also...what would be a trip to Utah without hitting up Temple Square. Here are some of the highlights...Enjoy!

Summer Vacation: Part One (Vegas)

I have so many pictures of our vacation...the task of narrowing down what we did to put on the blog was kind of intimidating. That is the main reason I have been putting it off for so long. So...I decided to do it in two parts. So here goes...:)

We first spent 3 days in Vegas...with our toddler. I was a little nervous about it at first...but it wasn't so bad. We found plenty to do. We actually had a lot of fun! My parents came along with us...so we traded off taking care of Grant and we also took him along with us on most of our exploring. It worked out perfectly. They have so much more endurance than I do...so they stayed out late and we were exploring the Strip early. And yes...it was really hot! Not really any hotter than Houston has been lately...Ugh!!! Part two (Park City)...coming soon!
