Utah Trip - Day 3

The 3rd day was spent going on the chair lift @ Sundance and viewing the beautiful scenery. It was fun to experience the mountains and see the beauty. We then went over to Granny's house and spent the afternoon celebrating Granny's 90th birthday. We went to a park close to her home and everyone (except a cousin and his wife, and a 1st cousin once removed) were present. It was a nice tribute to Granny. My cousin Suzy made a beautiful cake for her and there was yummy food all around. My cousins daughters took Em under their wing and played with her and Syd for hours. Em was in seventh heaven with all the attention and didn't want to leave. The night was finished off by fireworks from the Stadium of Fire in Granny's back yard. It was a fun-filled day of eating, scenery and family!

Utah Trip - Day 2

Day 2 in Utah was spent going to Park City. We went and walked around Main Street in Park City, ate at a yummy pizza place per Chris and Karim's recommendation, and went to check out the Alpine Slide (a Jones family favorite). Dane and I stayed with the kiddos in the Little Miners area and they rode the merry-go-round (4 times) and Em rode the little airplanes once. We had yummy ice cream while we waited for my dad, Josh, Kallie, Karim, and Chris to ride the Alpine Coaster. They all said it was worth the wait and totally fun! We missed Collins, Ashley, Syd, and Little Col Col. Thanks mom for helping make Granny's open house a success! We all got ready and headed down to Provo for an open house for Granny's 90th Birthday Celebration! Many friends from church, the neighborhood, and just friends in general came through the line to show love an appreciation for Granny. The kiddos had fun with their cousins and loved the swings, hill on the lawn, and just running and playing together. It was a fun day and great to be with the whole Jones Family again!!!!

Utah Trip - Day 1

We arrived in Utah on July 1st for Granny's 90th birthday celebration. Em and East were awesome on the plane!! We drove from Salt Lake to Midway where my mom and dad had rented a home for us to stay in. It was awesome and had more than enough space for us all to spread out in. We went to dinner at the local grocery store called "The Store" and ate in their deli section. The girls (Ashley, her mom Sherilyn, Karim, Kallie, my mom Jerri, and myself) went to see the new Twilight movie "Eclipse" that night and left the men home to watch the kiddos. It was fun to be with just the girls and I am still amazed I enjoyed books about werewolves and vampires. The company was great!
