Last year we took a girls and kids trip to Park City, Utah while the guys went elk hunting. We had so much fun that we decided to do it again. This time, Jenny and her kids and Kim were able to join us. So the group included Mom, Jenny, Kim, Me, Cole, Troy, Mason, Cooper, Kade, and little Paige. We drove two cars and only had to stop a couple times for food and potty breaks, which was pretty impressive with all the kids.

We stayed at the Marriot Mountainside Resort... it was INCREDIBLE! It butts up right next to the Park City ski mountain and was absolutely amazing. The trees were turning incredible red, yellow, and orange colors and it was all in our back yard. They had a huge pool and 6 hot tubs of different temperatures and age limits. I certainly would have frequented the adult only tub had it been just Adam and I, but as it was, I spent most of my time in the kiddie hot tub:-) The temperature was perfect in the day to swim in the heated pool and cool enough at night to dress in jackets and make smores over the fire pits on the back patio. There was an amazing kids activity center with video games, toys, a play loft, and lots of free activities throughout the days for the kids to participate in. My mom had arranged for us to be close to the pool and activity center so it was perfect!

I have an incredible mom and sister-in-law who helped out a TON with the kids and we all pitched in to make sure no one had to shoulder the load alone. My mom even watched all the kids one evening and let Jenny, Kim, and I go to the outlet mall for a little shopping without all the whining! We ate almost all our meals in our full kitchen in the "villa" we stayed in. We had 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms,a living room, and kitchen, including a washer and dryer. How much nicer can it get?
There were plenty of adventures, from Kim getting charged by a bull moose, to kiddos throwing up in the middle of the night. Doesn't sound like fun but those were definitely overshadowed by the incredibly fun memories we made.
Hopefully it becomes an annual tradition!
