Well summer has come to an end and we decided to take the kids out this weekend for a last minute mini vacation. It started off on Friday with a birthday party for Spencer. His birthday was the first of August but he was at scout camp, so we gathered up some friends and headed to boondocks. The boys got to practice their driving skills on the slick track. (warning!!! I can’t shoot a point and shoot camera!!! LOL!! )
Brenden and Jaeden enjoyed soaking everyone.
They played race cars, miniature golf, laser tag, and lots and lots of video games!!!! It was a great birthday party.
Then the next day we woke up and packed up and headed to Park city!! We had a ton of fun at the Park City summer park. Our personal favorite was the alpine roller coaster. If you have not done this yet, make it a goal to get up there and try it out. Nothing like going to the top of a ski hill and then going down it on a roller coaster track!!! So fun!!!!! I have to admit that the first time down scared me a little!!
Strapped in and ready to go!!
Going up
And coming down!!
This is the end of the coaster and there was no way to get pictures higher up. But there were a lot of twist and turns and going really really fast!!!
Brenden and Jaeden tried out the trampolines and without hesitation, Brenden decided to start doing flips. He just kept flipping over and over again. Maybe we have a little gymnast on our hands. LOL!.
And of course all the boys had to try the rock climbing wall. Here Kaleb and Jaeden do their best to reach the top. Notice Kaleb does not have shoes on…that’s my boy!!!
And Spencer makes it to the top!!!
So after a day of roller coaster, alpine slide, zip line, miniature golf, trampoline and rock climbing, we finally went and got dinner, exhausted and sunburnt. It was a lot of fun and I have to say that I love unplanned vacations.
So the last two posts have been about my family. Stay tuned for some beautiful images from a couple of weddings.








how FUN!!! I bet the boys had a BLAST!
That looks so fun! It has changed a lot since the last time I went. I’m going to have to take my kiddos there next summer!
How fun! I am from Utah and I remember going up to the Alpine Slide as a kid- but now it is the Alpine Roller Coaster? What an upgrade! I need to go check it out next time I am out there!
Love your blog!
Looks like so much fun!!

Looks like you had lots of fun!! I had to laugh about your warning comment, because anytime someone puts a point and shoot in my hand and asks me to take pics, I say…how do I use this thing??…LOL.
And a hurrah it looks like it was. What fun! Oh how sad to say good buy to summer! Fun post!
I love these pictures! My family went up and did the coaster without me, and I could not picture it – these were great!
