Park City

This weekend we headed to Park City with my family for a getaway before school begins (for most of us -Tim is already in school so for him it was a break) and for a little back to school shopping. Ian loved running around the condo and was super excited upon arriving there and hungry as well. The boy never stops eating!Ian loved having tons of people around to play catch with. We all had fun making pictures on the doodleboard -thus my mom's creation. Got another stank eye picture of Andrew. Played the board game Trouble over and over and over and over and over...yes I could keep but you get the point. Got in some shopping. Played and ran around in the rain. Ate lots of good food. Watch some good movies. Had tons and tons of fun!

We got to Park City late Friday afternoon and Ian just wanted to run around in the condo. After that wore off we went to the grocery store to pick up some snacks and food. The rest of the night we spent watching movies and playing games. Saturday we headed out shopping. Tim and Andrew came up that afternoon. I don't like going shopping anymore so Tim finds me clothes and I try them on and almost always love them. By trying them on I mean throwing them over my t-shirt like I am going to wait in a rediciously long line to try on a shirt. My favorite find at the mall was a pair of these...
One of the most comfortable and warm shoes ever! I have a tan pair just like them and wore them every day for a year while I was pregnant and teaching. Yes -everyday and I am not even kidding. I LOVE THEM!!! So needless to say they are a little shot. So besides these and my Uggs they will be the only two shoes I need all winter long!!! After a fun day of shopping we headed into Salt Lake City and ate a Tepanyaki Japanese Steakhouse. I forgot my camera and took a couple picture on my cell which as you can tell is not meant for taking nice pictures -but hey it worked.
Tim was very stuffed. Ian loved everything. Our chef was amazing and hilarious. Big fires, tossing knifes, throwing food, and all kinds of things. The chef even commented at how expensive our child is going to be -yes we all ready know this. Ian loves shrimp! In the picture above he is eating sushi with his chopstick. He loved the sushi too -gross. It was Maki Sushi -the california roll which is pretty much a crab mix, avacoda, and cucumber. Ian loved it and even the seaweed. Go figure he doesn't like eating lettuce but likes seaweed. The chef thought Ian was quite funny and in return Ian thought he was quite funny and would laugh whenever he would. Ian had a blast and would probably loved to go again tomorrow, but based on the bill maybe next year. The food was great and the entertainment was even better!

Sunday we packed up to head home and Ian played at the park.
He loves going down slides and is really good at going down them by himself as long as they are not too fast (we discovered that today at willow park). When he see slides he goes running and climbs the stairs then turns around to go down the slide on his belly. I don't have a clue where he learned this. I didn't see any kids doings this but he sure thinks it is funny. We had a great time in park city it was definately nice to get away for a little while. Thanks mom and dad for getting the condo and inviting us along!

How fun, i love Park City. I'm going this weekend and i'm so excited! Those shoes do look way comfy. I can't wait to shop :)
That is so funny Ian likes sushi. I hate it myself but my dad is determined to get my daughter to become a fan of it, gross! Glad you guys had fun!!

So quick question...how do you get all your pictures in that collage square? I have seen that on so many blogs but don't know how to do it. I always do tons of pictures so maybe that will save some space :)

What a fun way to bring in the new school year. I love those outlet malls, and Ian and his eating cracks me up. Be happy because you could have the polar opposite child who doesn't eat ANYTHING. Thomas would always go down slides on his belly too until he was about2. So silly, but it helps them get off quickly.
