Avondet Park City Reunion

I loved vacationing in Park City. It was so close. It was so easy. I still had to pack and stuff, but it was less intimidating to pack for a 45 minute drive. Here's a big thanks to my sisters who had to pack and drive for days to be with us. We are sure glad you did!

There were so many thing to do and places to go, all within 30 or so of where we stayed. Here's a quick recap of some of our activities.

BOATING - WAKE BOARDING - TUBING

We played more games, just no more pictures. It was so fun. I've never laughed so hard. My favorite of the night was Doug, trying everything he could think of to get his mouth to those bags! AND, Brian grabbing Mindy up in a huge bear hug after having just beat her! What a night. Loved it! Thanks for Katie and Chris for getting that all together.

What a week. How lucky we are that we can have so much fun together. Late nights playing games, sticking papers to our foreheads...Ponyo...all the laughs. I love you guys.
Can't wait till next time!
