Park City

Sherrie and Brian were trying to figure out a location where they could take their kids for a fun family vacation.  Its been a while since they have been away just as a family.  They were originally thinking about going to the beach somewhere.  Steph ended up finding them a really cheap price for the Marriott Hotel in Park City.  So, they decided to bring their kids up for one week.
Sherrie asked that we all come up one day, so that the rest of the week be spent with just their kids.  I thought this was a great idea, because it can get overwhelming with a lot of family around.  Anyway,  we went up on a Sunday morning.  It was so much fun to see their families and let the cousins play with each other. 
Kinlee was such a cutie and she was handed off from aunt to aunt and cousin to cousin.  She is such a cute little doll with such an infectious smile.  Cooper enjoyed running around with Jaden, Wesley, and Addey.  Clayton even tagged along with them.  There was nobody in the hotel, so the kids were able to explore and not cause any problems.
 Later that day, we went down to the swimming pools and watched the kids swim and enjoy the hot tubs.  It was still a little chilly outside, but the had a fun time in all the different hot tubs.  Cooper and Wesley spent their time out in the big pool swimming and floating.
Clayton hung out in the hot tubs with some of his cousins.  We brought some take n' bake pizzas up to cook for dinner.  Steph and Paul brought Mexican food. Jocelynn showed up with Grandma Cooper and we all sat in the main lobby eating and enjoying each others company. 
They boys and I were able to come up a few days later and spend some quality time with Sherrie, Brian, and the kids.  First, we took a scenic drive through down town Park City to try to get Kinlee to fall asleep.  That was the first time I had ever been to down town.  It's kind of a neat little town.  We found a fun hill for the kids to go sledding on. 
Cooper and Wesley had a blast racing each other down the hill.  The weather was perfect.  They didn't need to wear full winter clothes.  The sun was shining but there was still snow on the ground.  Clayton went on a few rides with Micaela and Aunt Sherrie.  He thought that was pretty fun. 
After the sledding, we let the kids swim again.  My boys love to play in the water! After swimming, we met Bryce in Park City at Arbys' and then headed home.  It was such a fun time to spend those few days with Sherrie and her family.
