Midway Family Get Away

We went to Midway, Utah with the Searle's for a family get away/reunion (July 30-August 6). We had a ton of fun! It was nice to go somewhere different, relax, and be with family with no pressure to really do anything. We went boating, rode a train, ate lots of food, visited Temple Square, Park City shopping, movies.......

Here we are boating. We haven't been boating in a long time so it was good to go. The boys loved the boat.
Grandpa and the boys--well one boy that would cooperate for pictures!
This is after he played in some mud and water on the nasty sidewalk right after we got to the lake! Boys, boys, boys!!!

Salt Lake Temple
Well at least we tried...it's one or the other who cooperates but not usually both!
Jason wake boarding which he hasn't done in years so he was pretty sore! Doesn't help that he's not getting any younger!

The water weenie--so fun! It was better than the tube--fun and not so bumpy!
Kyden sleeping in the boat!
Heber Creeper Train. Kyden loves trains so that's why we decided to take a ride on it. It was pretty slow and boring and hot, but the boys loved it so that's all that matters right! Anything for the kids!


We went to Park City to ride the slide. It was sunny until we got there, bought our tickets, and started up the ski lift. It was super hot, but the dark clouds began moving in. We got to the top after what seemed like 2 hours, took our sleds over to where you slide and it started pouring rain--the BIGGEST rain drops I have ever seen! We took cover in the trees but we still got wet. I only have the picture of my mom in the trees. Wish I had the other one that my mom took! I'm sure it's a lot more funny! So, they don't let you ride the slide if it's wet so they closed it. We held out for a while until they told us we had to get hauled down to the bottom in a suburban. We just wanted to ride that slide. We ended up playing mini golf in the rain and then going back to our hotel. We went back the next day and lucky us we did get to ride the slide and it was fun!

Isn't this house the coolest you've ever seen? You probably have to see it in real life to really think it is cool. It reminded me of a house from a cartoon show like Snow white or something.

We had a great time--especially shopping in Park City! Although I didn't find as much stuff as I would have liked, it was fun! I mean shopping any day is fun!
