Another quick trip


Monday I came back into town from working and had Dave meet me with the kids so we could catch a quick flight up to Salt Lake before I passed out- I was scheduled to be at work before 5am every morning which I can't function well at that hour. We made the flight fine and dandy, kids were great. Rental car whole other story... 1 1/2 hours and 3 cars later we were off to my family's place in Salem. We went up to have some family pictures taken hopefully I'll have some to post in about another week. The kiddos were much more aggreable than I expected so I'm hoping Skye got some good shots
.
We also went up to my cousin's in-laws property in the mountains and went 4 wheelin' for the afternoon. It rained on and off thruout the day, we had planned on swimming in the pond but it wasn't really warm enough, that did not stop my cousin Todd from jumping in! Katelyn tried too but decided it was much too chilly for her =0 (that's the pond way down there in 2nd pic)


We picked up some fireworks at the grocery store, must've been left over from the 4th. If you know Katelyn at all, you know she was in hog heaven. She lives for the 4th of July and the entire month of October too since Schnepf Farms has fireworks for the pumpkin and chili party every thurs-sun evening. Her birthday being October 30th she always assumes the fireworks are for HER since after her birthday they stop. I know crazy, huh?


The last day we ventured over to Park City for a drive and they have some summer activities on the mountain which were alot of fun. Katelyn was too little/light for alot of the things like the bungee trampoline or the zip line but she did go on the arctic slide. You take the ski lift up and then bobsled down. Too bad it was like 96 degrees out!
We were seriously baking at that altitude so we went and had some Gelato to cool down and then raced off to the airport to head home.
Short but sweet trip and as always a lot of fun.
