Deer Valley (Picture Overload!)

We just got back from a week long trip to Deer Valley, Utah- we stayed at the top of a mountain near Park City. It was beautiful weather, excellent food and lots of family time.

We flew up to Salt Lake Saturday the 16th. I was so worried about Parker on the airplane-- I really didn't want to have the screaming kid on the plane. So I packed everything under the sun into my "diaper bag" hoping that I could avoid tantrums... it was unnecessary-- neither flight was full so we were able to have Parker in his own seat, and in his car seat, so he slept for all but 25 minutes on the way up to Salt Lake, and all but the first ten minutes on the trip back to Phoenix- he couldn't have had a better flight.

Parker On his first airplane ride- totally happy after his nap- and then trying to eat his foot, but the pane's seat belt is in the way.

It was gorgeous up in Park City- the weather was wonderful and everything was nice and green- Here's Parker playing on real grass for the first time.

We went up to Sundance one day and all had lunch together- It was beautiful there.

Dipping our feet in further upstream- the water was cold and you can see Parker trying to pull his feet away from the water

While we were at Sundance we tried to get some cute pictures of the kids- they look adorable of course but very distracted.

All 3 'Tieman' Grandkids

After Lunch we rode the ski lift at Sundance- Parker enjoyed it, and fell asleep on the way down.

Parker eating his sunglasses, this is usually what happens, he pulls them off and then gets mad when the sun is shining in his eyes. But, at the end of the trip, we were finally able to get him to keep them on.

There was a cute little Park in the community where we were staying so we hiked a little up the mountain (it was paved-- not a real hike) and played in the park.

We went on the swings at the playground, and while we were swinging, and deer just came and walked through the park- not something we'd see here in Phoenix.

While we were there Park City was hosting a jazz festival, and Friday night was headlined by Blues Traveler. Jason and our Brother-in-Law Kody went to the concert and had a good time.
