Park City 4th of July

Once again we headed to Park City.
Originally we invited Corinne's family to join us for a long weekend.
Then we decided to take our full week and Fred and I would have the extra days to ourselves.
 You can see that we were loaded up again with outdoor toys for the kids.
 On the way up we were talking to Shannon on the blue tooth.
She asked if we had reserved both units for the full week.
We said yes. She said "Can we come up the first part of the week?"
We said yes.
They arrived a couple of hours after us on Sunday evening.
Monday we took a trip to the Hogle Zoo.
There weren't too many people so that was nice, but there were no shows or interactive activities because of COVID19. That was disappointing although we did have a good time.
So everyone except me went swimming.
I didn't go in the pool at all this trip.
On Tuesday we took a ride on the Heber City Historic Railroad Train.
 It was an hour up and an hour back.
Pretty scenery along the way. 
We were so pleased that the kids really enjoyed it.
 We had to wear masks except while we were seated on the train.
 Shannon and the kids left Wednesday morning so Fred and I had basically two full days to fill.
As you can see, this was not a trip where I took many pictures.
I think we have been to Park City enough now that I wasn't much inspired to take pictures.
Corinne and family arrived Thursday around dinner time.
Our time together was very familiar.
Lot of swimming, board games, movies and Hand and Foot.
 It worked out very nicely on the 4th. The resort provided a BBQ for us.
It was very hot the days that we had with Corinne's family.
The days with Shannon was sprinkly and cool.
Clara was so cute in her patriotic outfit.
I think we all had a good time.
Fred and I definitely want to check out other resorts in the future.
I think we have beat to death Park City.

Father's Day with Scott's family

After Corinne's visit, Scott and Jess were next.
They were headed to a family reunion in Bear Lake with Jess's family.
Our place was a nice midway point to stop.
Everyone seemed to settle in pretty easily.
On the way home, they stopped by again so I think some of these pictures might be out of order.
  Fred and Scott  are always comparing stuff.
Fred bought a couple soft sided coolers kind of similar to what Scott has.
Our multicolored car track was a really big hit with both of the boys.
 Here is Fred's Father's Day gift from Scott.
His own TESLA hat. He was really pleased with it.
 Scott brought out a big box of his Power Ranger toys.
I'm not sure who had more fun???
 On Father's Day we went out to say hi to my Dad.
This is a really cute picture. I know my Dad was happy to have us come visit.
 Fred and Scott were able to provide the Sacrament for us.
Someone caught this moment with Evan and me at the piano.
I think it's very sweet.
 A little more toy time.
I admire how our children are willing to travel with their young families.
It is a hard thing to do. When our kids were this young, we didn't go anywhere.
I wasn't willing to uproot our routine. I simply functioned better when things stayed smooth and calm. It was more about me than the kids. They probably would have done okay.
This year is filled with time with all of children and their families.
It's busy year of travel for all of us.
