Months and months ago, like around Christmastime, my family talked about wanting to do a staycation and go stay in a hotel in Park City or the Zermatt or something. We already knew we were going to Michigan, so we knew our finances would be going there, and we sleep better at home when the activities are only 40 minutes away, anyway. So we declined the hotel stay, but wanted to participate in all the activities with my family. Today we kept the girls out of school and Jon got out of work, and we met them up at Park City resort to do all the activities there! We got the girls passes to do whatever, and we started out with the lift ride. Jon and Mimi and Leiden were going on the Alpine Slide, but being pregnant I couldn't, and my mom and dad didn't think they could with various health issues, so we rode on our own lift chair and did the whole scenic ride.
It's fall, but today was quite warm, and the colors are either extremely muted this year, or we are past their peak up here in the mountains, but it was lovely to be up here!
We put on sunscreen and drank lots of water.
I tried to catch what little color I saw, but it was just very brown with hints of orange.
Jon snapped this one of us as they got off to go down the slide. My parents and I continued on, and it was a LONG ride! We had thought everyone might want to go on it, but it was longer than we anticipated.
Jon got these pics at the top of the slide.
Mac had gone up with Joni and Madison, but here they all were, ready to head down at breakneck speed!
They had a great time. After we all got back down, it was time to head to the mountain coaster. Again, I was exempt, but my parents wanted to head on this one! I got everyone as they were strapping in and receiving instructions.
I couldn't get close enough to the end of the coaster to get good pictures, but every single one of them thought it was super fun! I'll have to come back up here when I'm not expecting!
The girls' passes included panning for jewels and the bungee trampolines.
We headed back to swim at the Zermatt pool before dinner, and then we enjoyed dinner in the hotel room with everyone before we headed back home.
We will be back tomorrow for more family fun!
