Ethan's soccer team

We had a great vacation in Park City again this year. We got to do some fun activities, and the hotel had a great pool and game room which kept Maddie, Nate, Ethan and Harrison occupied. Most of Ethan's soccer team stayed at the same hotel, so there were lots of friends to hang out with! We ran into our old friends Ryan and Sidney, so we were able to spend some time with them. Lots of fun!

Last Adventure

Little paleontologists

Mia at the Children's gardens

Watching the monkeys

The Living Aquarium

We watched Dinosaurs 3D at the planetarium

Mia loved all the fish--she kept saying ooooh!

Discovery Gateway--the helicopter is a highlight for everyone!

Harrison's favorite part of Discovery Gateway

Climbing the rock wall at Discovery Gateway


We ended the summer with a bang with 3 days of exploring our own "backyard." On Thursday, we went to Discovery Gateway, the Clark Planetarium, lunch at the Lion House and finally the Living Aquarium. Friday, we spent the day at the Hogle Zoo, Thanksgiving Point Gardens and the Museum of Ancient Life. Saturday, we attended an RSL game at Rio Tinto Stadium. After all that, we were ready for school to start!
