Family Reunion

Last Friday we dedicded to go up to Park City to make the best of our last weekend before school started. The kids love staying in hotels because that means they get to swim. We decided since we got up to Park City so late and we have kids that it would be fun to get dinner and eat it back at the hotel. The kids thought that was great! As soon as Jori was done eating she kept bugging everyone else to finish up their dinner so we could go swimming. I think if she could be a mermaid she would. The next morning we decided to go over and ride the Alpine Slide, but when we got there we decided to ride the Alpine Coaster. It was a BLAST!!! We then decided to head up to Ogden to go to Cody's family reunion. We had time to kill so we went to Pizzeria with my family (so much fun). And then headed over to Toad's to Mini Golf with Uncle Blake while Grandma and Grandpa watched Cooper.
Once we got to the family reunion it was fun to see all of Cody's family. Cody's Grandpa brought a fun thing for all the kids to do. What he does is buy a tractor tire and hooks it up to a hose to fill up with water. The tire gets so big with water and the kids climb all over it until...........it POPS. It is so fun to see the kids reactions! They always know what will happen and yet they still keep doing it. Here are some fun pictures of what it looks like.





Here are my kids reaction to the tire bursting open....


Don't let Cooper fool you, he was back a couple of minutes later playing on the next tire!


And of course Brody and Jori can't get enough.

My gads that is some good photography. That was really a fun idea. I am smiling while I type. That would be tons of fun to watch. I love Cooper's reaction.

That looks like it would be a blast. I am sad that summer is over.
