Midway!

Well after 3 weeks of being on vacation it is a huge wake up call to be back in a 2 bedroom apartment. Poor Ashton already misses being outside. Here are some things we did up in Midway.

My parents backyard borders horses & cows!

Ashton was partial to the pony.

We went to park city to ride on the Alpine slides. Ashton went down once but it was scary trying to keep him sitting on the chair lift.


Some of the little cousins looking longingly at the little kid rides. The guy let them on even before we had tickets because they looked so pathetic watching through the fence.

The boys! David was super sunburned from standing in line to go on the zip line in Park City.

Me & the Ashbug!

Ashton woke up every morning and said "Ride - Ride - RIDE!!" until he could find someone to take him on a ride in the Rhino.

Luckily my parents were more patient taking the kids out on atleast 5 rides up Memorial hill or around town every day.

We haven't forgotten about our little girl!
Hannah & Anna. Thank goodness they don't have the same last name! They are just a few weeks apart.

And Hannah & Eli these two are just a month apart.

Ashton only went inside to sleep. He was outside all day long and he LOVED life. The weather was SO nice!

Breakfast with the Ashton cousins.

Quick family picture. This is the first time I haven't cried when I left Midway and that was only because I get to go back on the 3rd for Swiss Days! David will be taking me up there and staying the weekend but then I'll be flying home with both kids by myself. Wish me luck!

I love visiting family! Especially when the kids have so many cousins to play with. I don't blame Ashton wanting to stay outside all day, that backyard looks amazing!

I'm so glad you had fun. I felt like I went with you with all those great pictures and details. Ashton reminds me so much of Kellen or what he will be like someday. I miss you too. I'm reading Letters For Emily at the moment. I need to come to Dallas soon because I want to see Emily Walker's new baby so I'll let you know when I plan on it.

I am so jealous! Your parents backyard is absolutely beautiful! I wouldn't have left the backyard either, Ashton is a smart boy. It looks like you had a blast. I can't wait to take Bindi to Disney Land.

I love visiting family in the summer! Did Ashton just get a haircut? He looks so old all of a sudden.

When strangers ask what Anna's name is they usually think that I say Hannah. My sister is pregnant and considering the name Hannah as well. Tricky, tricky -- but we'll also have different names.

I am really curious to hear how the flight was! You are one brave soul.
