07/01/17 Day Two - Park City - Galaxy Bowling and Games

After a long travel day we wanted to have a quiet Saturday.  The boys were working and couldn't join us until late afternoon anyway so we hung out at the Condo and played games, read books, and relaxed.  We brought some painting supplies and Holly got out our skillsuccess.com class and watched a lady teach her how to paint a monkey.  He came out super cute!!!  We also had some fancy coloring books and colored some intricate designs.

We were able to go down to the pool for awhile and have the pool to ourselves for an hour too!!!

AJ got to Park City first with a bag of tacos from one of his favorite taco places.  (He once ate 20?! of those tacos at once!!!)  We each had 1 or 2 and were good this time around!  They were really good and it was fun to try them.

Once the newlyweds arrived  (Bryce & Marlee) arrived we went to the Galaxy Bowl and had 90 minutes of bowling with a pizza.  We played from youngest to oldest and that was pretty much the way the scores ended up at the end of game one.  Andy's back has been naughty lately so he watched while we played which allowed me to barely break 100 and win (might be first time I ever won at bowling!!!)  Second game we didn't have time to complete but Bryce pulled out and was ahead when the system went down!

Bryce says they played a lot while on his mission and he had improved quite a bit and had quite a few strikes.

We played a game called telestrations that Marlee brought -- it was fun -- you get a erasable flip board and marker.  The whole group draws a card and draws the item listed on the # the dice show.  Then they flip the board and draw that picture and pass.  The next person tries to guess what they drew and write a word and pass.  And then draw a picture and pass.  etc.  Until everyone in the room has had a shot at every flipboard in the room.  It makes for some pretty funny pictures and guesses.

When it was time for bed Holly had to sleep on the air mattress (put in a BIG closet); Marlee and Bryce got the queen bed and Katie got the twin.  AJ headed home for a date and to go to his own church on Sunday morning.

06/14/25 Pre-Yellowstone

Last year for Christmas I purchased a vacation to Yellowstone for the kids and us. The dates for the Yellowstone cabin were June 16-June 20. We decided to break the trip up a little and drive up the weekend before and drive home the weekend after. Also, because Katie got married, and Dallas has limited time off, he was unable to take his family on the trip. We stayed at his house and got some twin time in before we continued north.  Aspen and John moved to Pennsylvania and are in Utah for the summer. On our way up north we stopped at Becky's house to see them and their sweet new baby.  Erik recently got a new job so he was also not able to join us on our trip. Holly became our little girl again and traveled with us.  Holly and Millie My dad's been in the care center so we stopped by to visit him. He's being well cared for. He is struggling to put sentences together. We came and went to church with him at the care center. He's been asking for a really good pizza. So we w...

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. )

08/20/25 Max out of pocket reached early again...hospital here we come

As is customary, within 7-10 days from returning from a trip we go to the hospital.  We stayed out of the ocean -- while we were in the Bahamas -- in order to keep Andy healthy. (We have determined that he has been getting infections through his swollen legs or cuts on his feet.)  Andy did not get infection from being naughty! haha BUT he somehow picked up COVID!  What the heck?! On Sunday last week (Aug 10) he started having a scratchy throat, voice. It got worse and most of last week he had laryngitis.  That resolved itself and he was feeling pretty fine. We had a full Wednesday. Around 9 p.m. he said he was feeling a little funky/woozy, whatever. Off?!   We went to bed and his temperature reading was still below normal but he was having body aches and shivering. We tried to sleep but he was clearly in pain and tossing and turning.  About 1:00 a.m. I got up and checked his temperature...100. Hmm. I looked at his legs and it looked like he might possi...
