Midway

We stopped in Park City for lunch to waste some time until we could check in to the next place. Little Bird still wasn't feeling better so she didn't get much to eat. But we did give her some ice to help cool her off (look at that shocked face).

Our next stop was Midway where we had a great place with a great view.

--------------------------

Tuesday we took a short hike and then in the afternoon was some bowling. Little Bird finally seemed to be feeling better and started to eat again. Yeah!

--------------------------

Wednesday, some of us went up to the outlet stores while the little ones all headed to the park to play. Then we met up in Park City to ride the carousel and alpine slide.

After our picnic lunch, we played in the grass until it started to rain. That afternoon was a downpour and the "big kids" went to see Despicable Me 2 while the "little kids" napped.

That night after dinner, Grandma Tute led all the grand-kids in a finger-painting extravaganza. After some initial timidity, they all jumped right in and made a mess.

--------------------------

When we were back at the place, there was always something fun for the kids to do--playing out on the lawn, blowing bubbles, playing on piles of pillows, etc.

Each night we sang songs before the kids went to bed and then the adults stayed up late playing games and talking.

--------------------------

Thursday, we headed to the cheese "factory" and watched them working and had some samples. Then we headed back to the park to feed the ducks and play.

That night was our last night for swimming. All the kids are little fish and love the water.

--------------------------

Friday meant it was time to go home. Little Bird found friend's to play with at each of the airports. The trip home ended up being longer than expected when our flight home from Chicago was cancelled after a long delay. Fortunately, Isaac and Francie came to get us and let us crash in their living room. We aren't sure what would have happened if we hadn't gotten to do that. So glad they are in Chicago for a couple more weeks.

Finally we made it onto the plane home. Yeah!! It was a great trip and fun to see everyone but it felt so good to finally get home.
