Dinosaur Park City

Today is Friday, the day we try to go on a hike as a family. I don't yet know where we are going, but I know that if we are as creative with the term "hike" as we have been the past two weeks then we are in for an adventure.

Two weeks ago our fulfillment of this goal was to hike around the Dinosaur Park in Ogden. The day was beautiful, the dinosaurs were huge, and we had a great time.

In between hiking days we stayed busy playing outside on grass, cement, and in any water we could find, including playing at cousin Allie's first birthday party

(Below is a further example of why it might be haircut time for Adam)

Last Thursday, Joe decided we needed a quick family vacation and took us all to Park City. We had so much fun getting away for a couple of days. We acted silly

We slept on drives

The boys got bored and funny while waiting for us girls to finish exploring the outlets

We relaxed and played (note ANOTHER exmple of Adam's awesome, won't lay down to save my life. hair)

Our babies became little prunes with all the time we spent in the pool
We just enjoyed being together all by ourselves with no other commitments or worries.

Our Friday "hike" in Park City consisted of hiking around the Park City Mountain Resort and up to it's Alpine Roller Coaster. Chloe and Noah were a little nervous as they looked at the track extend up the side of the mountain. But when we made it to the head of the line, they were both brave and loved every minute. I'm proud of them, I'm not sure I would have tried it at their age, but I was always kind of a wimp.

We had a great time and returned home to again resume our play, water, play routines. We tried to mix in some yard work, but ended up back on the water phase of our summer.

So another beautiful day is ahead of us, with a hike of some sort waiting to be made. With the promise of a treat at the end of every hike, the kids can't wait to go, and I can't wait to spend another day with my favorite people. I love summer.
