We slept in until 9 in the morning (heavenly), took our time eating breakfast and heading out (again to the outlets--this time armed with coupons we'd forgotten the night before) and ate a late brunch at Red Rock. Soon after, Nanny and Grandpa Neil met us at Kimball Junction where we gathered our kids back up and went back to our hotel. Our "hotel room" was really more of a big condo unit with 2 floors and 3 bedrooms which the kids immediately fell in love with. It was so nice to spread out and have plenty of room for all of us. We spent the afternoon at the hotel pool (Joe's sis and her fam joined us for a few hours of water playtime) and ate a yummy dinner at a lesser known Mexican joint in the Prospector Square area.
The kids were beat by 7 pm which was fine by us--we had ventured a whole 2 minute walk from our place to the Alpine Slides just as some random drops started falling and dark ominous clouds rolled in. They had shut down the lifts before we could even buy tickets so we promised the kids we'd ride the slides sometime this fall. Then it was early to bed and another movie night for Joseph and me (although I felt as beat as the kids!) Our girls suddenly came down with yucky coughs which picked up once they were sleeping and both of them woke up distressed several times during the night...made for quite a restless night but that seems to happen when we're away from home regardless.
We got home this afternoon after attending church at my sister's ward, put Livs in her crib for a nap, and then the rest of us snuggled up in our king bed and had a solid 90 minute snooze. With such big kids we barely fit but we were all asleep so quickly we hardly noticed. I love any chance we get to do that though (and they are sparse to say the least and who knows how many more we'll get)...felt so safe and snug with the whole house slumbering away and 4 of us sharing one bed...dreamy.

oooo. very dreamy all cozy in bed. :) That was super noteworthy. I feel like it is rare when we get those these days! What a fun weekend to be first alone with your hubby and then enjoy it with the kids. I love park city too.
I love when Max takes naps with me. Sades is too little still, but an entire family nap does sound dreamy. A PC weekend sounds fantastic this time of year. Happy birthday again to Joe
Sounds awesome! I want to get up into the mountains again before the summer is really gone.
Thanks again for coming to my ward Sunday! It was so helpful to have my first week "alone" on the bench filled with so much help! Can I talk you into coming more often? :-)
Naps with the kiddos? I love those rare events. A great memory for sure.
Such a fun get-away! I do love that mountain air. And naps with the kids, what a sweet afternoon!
