this is the place: Park City

I know, I know. I'm terrible at updating this blog...

Our entire family went on a week long cruise to Alaska and we were left behind. The reservation was so quiet without the rest of the tribe, so we decided to leave town and head to Park City, Utah to visit our old home and friends there for a few days.

We had a wonderful time there and it was so much fun to be able to see Asher enjoy the beautiful mountain towns along the Wasatch and in the Uintas. Sienna seemed to enjoy it all as well and she did such an excellent time keeping up with the family as we were on the go the entire time we were there.

Before we left for Utah we had talked to Asher about how we would go on a hike, go swimming, and go in the hot tub (his favorite old man activity) while in Utah. He was really excited and in the days leading up to the trip he kept talking about "taking a hike like Oscar the Grouch" (this kid was definitely in need of some time in the real outdoors!) and going in the hot tub. After we landed in Salt Lake we drove up to Park City and our first stop was at the grocery store to pick up some food and diapers. As I put Asher into the shopping cart in the entry to the store, he looked around and started to declare "I want to go to other Utah." He said this a few times and looked extremely unimpressed- I mean the kid was told there would be hot tubs in Utah and this just looked like the grocery store back home! As he was whining about the "other Utah," two old men walked into the store and heard Asher's complaints. They started chuckling and one of them walked over to Asher and said "buddy, this is a pretty good Utah, I don't think you'll like the "other Utah. It doesn't get much better than Park City." We agreed and laughed.

We had such a great time and I especially loved seeing our friends, the Lossers. They are such special people and we always have so much fun talking and laughing when we see them.
