THAT Behind. 4th of July in Park City, UT


I have hundreds (if not a thousand) pictures from our trip to Park City, so it's a little overwhelming trying to post them when blogger is so very slow. But here's a little peek at the 4th of July. We had a BLAST! And not only that, the weather could not have been any more perfect. That was probably the coldest 4th of July I've ever experienced in my life - a whopping 58 degrees for the high. It was heaven! After last week I am sorely tempted to make the drive back there by myself with 3 kids just to escape the extreme heat here in Texas. If my sister were not getting married in 2 weeks, I'm pretty sure I'd be there!

My niece, Ayden playing with a light up toy. I LOVE this picture!

THAT Behind. Disney World May 2010

Did I ever mention we took a trip to Disney World back in May? Yep, we did. It was super fun! I flew out with the kids and my parents the first part of the week, then Kyle, my brother Daniel and his wife, Monica joined us for the rest of the week. We all had a blast!

Mother's Day 2010

We did some major celebrating in Orlando. We went to an AMAZING brunch at the hotel we were staying at. We stuffed ourselves silly on eggs benedict, fresh orange juice, fresh pastries, crepes.... It was so yummy! Then my Dad was super sweet (since Kyle was still in Texas) to watch the kids while I napped. It was a nice relaxing day.




The hotel we stayed at had a glass elevator that went up sky high. The kids thought it was cool, although Spencer is holding onto my mom for dear life. ;)


Lounging.


Hotel parks are fun!




Animal Kingdom


That backpack was SO HEAVY! I seriously got my workout that day.


Spencer surprisingly touching a rattle snake. He was braver than I! He's also pointing to "Nemo" in the fish tank.


The water rapids ride - SO FUN! Lucky Grandma and Janelle got soaked to the bone!



How we entertain ourselves in line.


In line for the Toy Story ride at Hollywood Studios. Loved it! We also loved Grandpa mapping out our day in Spencer's hat.


Lunch at the Sci-Fi Diner. A Disney family fav.



Aunt Monica brought Spencer a present - a "Cars" apron. He loves it and wears it all the time. Thanks Aunt Monica!


EPCOT

Princess Brunch



Norway and China World Showcases in EPCOT





One of the nights after Kyle, Daniel and Monica got there, my parents watched the kids and let us go get dinner at the fancy schmancy restaurant on top of the Contemporary Resort. The food was A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. We dined on sushi, flat bread pizza, grilled pork chops, roasted chicken, smoked salmon, and of course some major chocolate for dessert. Yummmmmmm...



Cooling down at the pool.




The last day we were there, we dined at the Japanese World Showcase hibachi restaurant to celebrate Monica's birthday. More delish cuisine. Have I ever mentioned my family likes to eat?




Cuteness.



The end.
