07/05/17 Day Six - Park City - Mojo's and Factory outlet and Chabasco's

Lazy day with just us and the girls.

Andy had a rough night due to back pain and elevation and such. I had a terrible night due to asthma and not having an inhaler readily available. So we didn't get moving early!!!

We had a secret shop at Mojo's restaurant up by the alpine slide so we went and did that afternoon. We got a couple of entrees and shared them four ways. Also some nachos and cookies. We found a souvenir shop and everyone got cute park city shirts. Then it started raining and thundering -- not forecast, no expected -- didn't last long!

It was kind of nice though because it cooled everything down. So we went to the outlet malls and walked around for a long time. Found Andy some sneakers for pickle ball -- he wanted daily shoes too but we didn't have any luck with that. We walked the whole lower half of the outlets and then headed over to walmart.

While on this trip Andy decided for sure to go to Mexico for surgery. The surgery is two weeks away -- which means he has to start a special diet immediately. So we went over to walmart to pickup some protein powder and gatorade and things. Prior to the surgery he has to try to lose a bunch of weight to help make it easier to perform the surgery. It will be a rough couple of weeks - shakes, salads, no sodas. So we are gearing up to help out and get through it!

For Andy's "last supper" before the surgery we went to Chubasco's - a park city local Mexican joint. That place was super crowded and yummy. We got two entrees and shared them again along with nachos. We had a fun time with the girls and enjoyed Andy's last real meal.

After dinner we went straight instead of turning and decided to take a nice drive. We found some fun signs -- lil Kate driver and Andy for Mayor!

The weather gets cool here in the evening and the pool has pretty chilly water so we didn't swim -- the girls read books and hung out (it was already after 9 p.m.!!!!)

Andy and I decided to go to the hot tub late though! It was so nice. Everyone was gone and we had it to ourselves again and had a little hot tub date late in the evening! The pool says it closes at 10 but we stayed until almost 11 p.m. and there was noone to tell us to go home so we didn't! I thought we'd be freezing but sitting in the hot tub for awhile heats you up so it wasn't cold at all!

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...
