Mountain Retreat

We spent this weekend in Park City with the Wrights of Utah, celebrating Aunt Laura's birthday. We had so much fun. I would post pictures but we have very, very few. Why, you may ask? Because a-I forgot the camera and b-we bought a new one but didn't really use it very much. We needed a new camera anyway - our old one was slowly dying and costing us a fortune in AA batteries (between that and the Wii remotes we go through a lot of batteries) but we were busy and didn't get to play around with the camera too much. Jay got a good picture of William sitting on my lap crying after he bonked his head on a metal bar at the park and I tried to get a few action shots of the family soccer game but that was about it.

The lack of pictures is not representative of the amount of fun that we had. Among the fun things that we did:

*We played lots of card and board games, including a familiy SkipBo tournament. Congratulations to Melisa, who takes home the trophy!

*We watched movies and had treats and stayed up late every night. Which is why our kids will all be in bed by 8 pm tonight.

*The weather was beautiful and we took advantage of it, playing at a really fun park for several hours and having a picnic and going up to the Park City Mountain Resort for a ride down the Alpine Slide.

*We had a fun party for Laura, including a yummy ice cream cake. Jay even picked out and bought her present himself (and considering that I'm the designated present-buyer in our house, that's saying something).

Tessa got a little car sick on the way to Park City. OK, she got alot car sick, necessitating an emergency stop at a Wendy's to clean her up and change her clothes. Thankfully it was an isolated incident.

The kids were pretty good and had fun spending the weekend with their cousins and aunts and uncles and Nana. Thanks for a great weekend, everyone!

And Happy Birthday, Laura! We love you!
