06/30/17 Day One - Park City - Driving and Moochies

Life has been on super fast forward busy (even had a jury trial that went until late last night). So this morning we got up and packed up and headed to Park City for our annual family vacation.

We have a week reserved at Crestview Townhouse across from the Factory Outlet Malls through parkcityskiplaces.com.  I hunted and hunted for something we could afford and this place just came available two weeks ago so we snatched it up.  It is about 1200 square feet with a nice kitchen living room and a big loft where all the kids can sleep.  It has a queen, a twin and an air mattress along with lots of floor space if needed. 
Anyway, we all got up and packed up our stuff -- we pack lightly and plan to do laundry half way so it doesn't take too long to pack. We also packed lots of food -- planning to just eat out one meal a day to save money. It was a trick getting the car loaded but we were able to get everything in the trunk of the 300!!!  

Andy has been having some medical problems so he had a chiropractic adjustment at 11 a.m. and we headed out a little afternoon. The trip was pretty quiet - although I guess because it was a holiday weekend the traffic was pretty heavy.  We got up to Orem and went to Bryce and Marlee's place by UVU.  It was the girls first time to see it so everyone was pretty excited.  The girls to see it, B&M to show it off. 

It's a cute place - split entry - with 2 B and 1b upstairs and a kitchen living room, laundry/bathroon down.  And lots of closets for storage.  And really close to UVU.  Bryce got a job at Bed, bath and beyond and he can walk to work and school.  Marlee is waiting to start at Macy's and it will also be within walking distance although for safety she may drive anyway.  But it's a great location for what they have planned the next three years (lots of school, some work!)
Once AJ was available we all piled in cars and headed up to Moochie's for dinner.  It is in Lehi and is a place Andy has been telling us about for a long time.  We all got yummy footlong sandwiches -- meatball, philly steak -- and split them up.  There was a guy playing country music on a guitar and singing country music while we ate.  It was a fun atmosphere and the food was really great too.  We sat around and talked and hung out for awhile until AJ had to head back.  

We headed up the mountain and arrived at our Condo about 8:30 p.m. It felt like a long day by the time we arrived!

01/12/26 Just a couple of things going on

Every Monday night we do family night pizza. This has included Eldon and Diane for quite awhile now. They left on a round the world cruise and will be gone from January - May. So we sent them a pic of these two cuties and told them we missed them.  Found this fun scratch off -- you can mark everywhere you've been. We want to travel in our retirement and thought this would be a fun way to keep track of it. (We also have a world map but I think 1 on the wall is enough).  SO this is our little inspiration wall to remind us to get out and see the world! Holly painted this picture on her wall a couple of years ago. I added some words and music notes in vinyl to it. I'm working on turning her bedroom into my music sanctuary.  The WELCOME pineapple sign was starting to peel off. I took off all the vinyl and painted the words instead. Gave it a nice refresh! We signed up for classes at the college too -- currently we are taking World travel, AI (artificial intelligence), Aging an...

06/16/25-06/20/25 Yellowstone

We had a really great week on our Yellowstone trip. We stayed at a VRBO cabin in a remote cabin in Ashton, Idaho. It was just right for our group. We were able to go to Yellowstone, Grand Teton, Mesa Falls, the Yellowstone Playhouse, Lava Hot Springs Pools and Slides.  We drove lots, played games, did puzzles, roasted hot dogs, made s'mores, enjoyed picnic lunches, ice cream at the frost top, dinners together made by each lil family and so much more.  Loved it! (There are lots more pictures in our shared Yellowstone google album. Also, these pictures are not in order of happening. )

01/13/26 How Many Cookies?!?!?

  I planned to visit Washington City and go to the ladies luncheon (they do it monthly on shut off day). I found a new recipe that included putting smashed pretzels in the mix. (I had smashed pretzel, cereal mixture leftover from Christmas).  The recipe said it would make 22 cookies. I figured I would triple it and have 66.  Welp...they must have been some BIG cookies they were making...cause I got 126 cookies!!!!  What the heck?! I backed 24 of them and put the rest in the freezer. Someone will have a nice treat another day!
