Summer Vacation part 1

In the midst of working, wedding planning, and trying to make time to spend together both of our families had summer trips planned. Both turned out to be the perfect way to relax and enjoy quality time with our family.

Of course they fell back to back, first up was

PARK CITY
with the Davies over the Fourth of July

This tradition started years ago with "family fun day" where we went golfing and had dinner. It eventually turned into family fun weekend where we spent a few days surrounding the fourth in Park City to enjoy shopping, golfing, fireworks and fun times together.


A quick look back at the first ever family fun weekend in 2009.




I can't believe it's been 5 years since this trip, I remember it like it was yesterday!
Fast forward 5 years, add a sister in law and a couple of nephews and one niece and you have an even better trip!

DAY 1 (Thursday July 4, 2014)
On our way up there! Some more excited than others ;)




Started out right, shopping and buying matching jackets

Up next the Alpine Slide which is a classic favorite!









DAY 2 (Friday July 4, 2015)

The guys go golfing every year while the girls usually shop or hang out. The girls and kids went shopping (found some shoes yay!) and tried to get food but everything was closed for the holiday or completely packed. We finally found something and headed home. Everyone got ready and we hung out outside waiting for the best firework show. 
Seriously it's always amazing because it is right in the canyon so its really loud and the condos we stay in are right on the golf course which allows for the most perfect view. As we are reminiscing in this post that first time in 2009 I fell in love with the firework show and I look forward to going many more years in the future!

 




Day 3 (Saturday July 5, 2015)


Such a fun day. We found an awesome bowling alley where they have lanes in this private room that you can rent out. It ended up being the best way to bowl! Throughout the whole trip we always enjoy some great food!




To end the night we walked to Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory to get some good treats!



It was so nice to spend the weekend with John and his family and have a break from the everyday! We always have such a fun time and I love this holiday! I cannot wait for next year!!
