Road Trip Part 2

So, as I was saying in post prior, we went on a road trip!  Before leaving Star Valley we hiked the natural geyser there (ok everyone but me hiked because my child was sleeping).  It was nice however to just sit in the car, admire the scenery, and talk to my grandma (she didn't go either).  After that we headed to get some lunch and then we were on our way.  My car was packed to the hills with baby, my brother, my sister, and my mom, plus all of our things!  We made good time getting home (a drive I could do without--nothing interesting to see).  Once to Coalville I cleaned up a little bit and then set off to Park City.  Kolby had meetings in Park City all week and our hotel room was paid for so we decided to spend a few nights there.  We stayed at the Newpark and it was a maz ing!  Loved it!  Our room was gorgeous with a washer/dryer, full kitchen, walk-in glass shower, huge tub, fireplace, and a hot tub on the deck!  I'm not kidding I was in heaven.  I could have lived there and been just fine! 

 Anyway, throughout the week Hudson and I shopped, swam, ordered pizza with Aunt Cara, and went to lunch with Grandma Lesa and Uncle Carter. We also went to the fair to eat and hang out a few times as well.  On Wednesday night we had a sweet sixteen surprise party for my brother.  Each one of us have had surprise parties on our 16th birthdays so he was no exception.  We had been planning it for a while and it turned out great.  We had a big blow up slide, lots of kids, and yummy food.  Hudson pretty much hung out on the blow up slide the whole time.  That kid is not scared of much and went down without hesitation, all by himself!  It was fun to see my brother having fun and being surprised.  I can't believe he is 16!  My grandparents, aunt, and cousin also came to the party before heading to the airport.  Our trip with them was great as well! 

I look ridiculous in this picture but the others are so cute so I had to post it!

 On Thursday my cousin brought her kids over to play on the slide with Hudson.  It was so fun to get to visit with her and her little family.  We really need to more often!  Friday our hotel stay came to an end and we headed to Coalville for a few more nights.  The fair parade was Saturday morning and Hudson had a ball.  At first he was into catching the candy and watching but after awhile he thought it was great fun to walk over to the Summit Merc's door and back a million times!  Oh well, at least he enjoyed himself right?! 

 We spent most of the day at the fair and on Sunday headed back home to Logan.  It was a great week spent with family and friends in beautiful places doing both exciting and relaxing things.  What a great way to wind down the summer!
