Park City Weekend

For my mom's 60th birthday we gave her a girls weekend in Park City. Rachel's husband, Matt, hooked us up with a sweet condo for a sweet deal.

Our home for the weekend.

We headed there on Friday afternoon and came home yesterday afternoon. My sister Carrie wasn't able to join us (she is 7 months pregnant and lives in Michigan) but the rest of us were there. Dad and EJ even joined us after Priesthood session on Saturday night. Melanie went home to watch Conference with her family, but came back Saturday night with her two girls. We had a blast! Even with all the snow in April, we loved it!

We...

...watched conference.

...hung out in the hot tub (those of us who could).
The few who braved the cold (it snowed Friday and Saturday) to get in the hot tub. Melanie, Jenna and Alyssa (Melanie's daughters), and Paula and Jacque (not pictured)

...had a yummy dinner at Ruby Tuesday and then enjoyed home-cooked meals the rest of the time.
Yummy dinner! We seriously talked about the salad bar the rest of the weekend - ya, it was that good.
Jacque, Melanie, Paula, Mom and Rachel

...went shopping and got spoiled by my Mom (wait wasn't this her birthday present?!)
Some of us at the outlets.

...watched cousin Stephenie in the Making of Twilight.

...talked.

...arm wrestled - isn't that what all girls do on their girls nights? - and found out that Jax is incredibly strong.
Jacque and Melanie, "Bring it on!"

They paired up the pregos...it was a fair fight - especially since we couldn't stop laughing.


...visited.
Dad, Paula, Melanie and Rachel

...chatted.
EJ got in on some of the fun! Ya, what's up with the hair dude?

It was a very nice weekend - And to top it all off, when I got home, Tyler had been preparing homemade Chile Rellenos and Carne Asada tacos with homemade corn tortillas. He even made homemade Green Salsa. Can I just say yum, I'm swooning!
