Our Park City Vacation

We went and stayed the weekend in the Marriott suites with the Hill family in Park City. We had so much fun. There was a tone of swimming, riding on the trolley, and of course ridding the coaster. Shilo was very excited that she made it up there. For the past two years she wasn't aloud to go because of some unfortunate mistakes. But I must say that this year I am very proud of her. She stayed completely out of serious trouble and maintained a 3.6 grade point average. Way to go Shilo! She was able to brag to everyone how well she did and how excited she was to be able to join the whole family on this mini vacation. I was surprised how much Chase has grown up this year. Because we were staying with all of Brandon's sisters and brothers who all have smaller children, I realised how much work it really is to do simply things. Getting ready for the pool took my family about 10 minutes...and everyone else about 30 minutes. It's not a bad thing at all, I guess I just forgot how strong and independant my children have become over the years. There was not one fit thrown from Chase, and when he or Shilo was hungry they simply walked to the kitchen and asked for a snack. Amazing how much these little things are forgotten and how fast the mature. I am very proud of them, and cant wait to see the years to come.

Park City is always a fun place where to spend time; glad you could do it.
And, Shilo and Chase are growing up! I am already seeing the changes in Chandler in such a short first year.
Which of course means that I also not getting any younger(???!!!)
Looks to me like Chase is a pretty good helper with grass cutting. Hope he gets paid for all the hard work . . . or maybe you just keep feeding him!
