More Family Time

Scott's brother Ross and his family came to town the same weekend we had my family reunion, so we had to split time together, but we still managed to get in some water sliding and dinner together.

Ever Loraine and Aunt Loraine together. :)

Family Reunion

Heber Valley family reunion with all of the Minson's/Copple's. A train ride, complete with a train robbery. Park City in a rainstorm. Cousins. Magic show. Trivial pursuit vs. Papa Jim. Movies. 

 This is a stick up! I love the slightly worried face Indie has.

 Recreating old baby pictures.

 Playing games with the big boys.

 Yep, he eats his pizza with a fork.

South Fork Canyon

Picnic of roasted hot dogs, s'mores, playing in the creek, shade, reading. What else could you ask for on a summer day?

Blackridge Resevoir

More memory making with the Michaelson's while swimming.

Independence Day Celebrations

 Every year Adam Michaelson puts together a hike to Flat Top Peak to the west of us close to the 4th of July. It's a long one, about 8 miles. I haven't been able to go up until this year. I was planning on going by myself with the group Adam had pulled together until the night before I was packing and getting ready and all of a sudden Park asked to go with. I was floored! Anytime we have been hiking for any length of time before this he (and most of the other kids) tend to complain. I told him he was welcome to come, but that it was a long and hard hike. He was adamant about coming. And I'm so glad he did! It was a beautiful hike and Park was amazing! No complaining, he hiked like a pro and we had a great day.

The sunset was "glorious and beautiful" according to Adam. I responded with, "It is Michaelson."

 We are pumped!

 At the top to partake of lunch.

 Horny toads! They were everywhere!

 We even got to have a snowball fight.

 This kids was one tired boy afterward, but he loved every minute of it.

The 4th was an exciting night of the neighborhood band, fireworks, and even a fire in the Gully. Thankfully the fire department is practically in our backyard and they put it out quickly before any damage was done to homes.
