4th of July Park City with the Keeps

I have only two incredibly random pictures to show for a really great long weekend in Park City with the Keeps.  "Uncle Shawn" and "Aunty Debbie" invited us to Park City over the fourth of July.  They were able to get an extra condo with their timeshare deal so we got to stay in the Marriot.  I had no idea Park City would be so fun.  We had a GREAT time.  Rusty and I brought our mountain bikes and, along with Shawn and Nathan, we bought lift tickets to the top of the mountain.  They loaded our bikes on the ski lift.  No riding up, just down!  I don't think mountain biking could get much better than that.  Debbie watched the kids while we rode.  They had a fabulous time, including a trip to the candy store. 

The resort had a big pool with 6 hot tubs around the outside.  We spent lots of time in the pool.  Shawn's family came up one night for a barbeque.  The kids made friends with a few of his nieces and nephews and played all afternoon in the pool with them. Rusty and I were blown away by how much one of the Keep brothers is Dale's twin in every way.

The resort also had a kids club room where we went with the kids for some fun crafts and activities.  Two different nights we went down by the pool and roasted s'mores over gas fire pits.  We were inspired by the no smoke, no showers all around s'more making and are currently researching putting in a gas fire pit in our backyard. 

I think a highlight for the kids was the big pillow fight they had with Uncle Shaun.  Two months later Ridge randomly sat down at the piano and started playing it and singing a song about having a pillow fight with Uncle Shawn.

One day it rained and we went down to Salt Lake.  We went to temple square and visited the new Book of Mormon Celebracion exhibit, the Brigham Young house, and watched "The Testaments."  That particular movie has new meaning for us as it was filmed on Kauai and we like to watch for extras that we know and love from our Kalaheo Ward.

We attempted the Park City fourth of July parade but it was completely candyless.  LAME.  We left halfway through because the kids were bored out of their minds.  Whoever decided on a parade without candy was not thinking clearly. 

We had so much fun and didn't even get a chance to do some of the famous Park City things, like the Alpine slide, which was right behind our hotel.  We look forward to going back and to seeing the Keep's again, hopefully soon!
