Life's a Peach: Park City, Utah

We just got back yesterday from a week long Andersen family vacation at Park City, Utah. Other attendees: Grandpa Andersen, Uncle Tim, Uncle John & Aunt Michelle & cousin Whit (age 4), Aunt Christine & Uncle Jeff & cousin Ryan (age 2) & cousin Ellie (age 1). It was so much fun getting all the little cousins together: lots of laughter, a lot of running around in diapers/underwear (thanks to my boys), and a lot of fights over toy cars.

Robert was in ski school for four days with cousin Whit (also age 4) , then came out skiing with us on our last day. He has mastered the snow plow (they call it making pizza slices) and can turn through the obstacle course. He and his cousin Whit like to point their skis straight (french fries) and go fast. And I mean really fast. I would frantically scream "slow down", wondering just how well that helmet would work if Robert wrecks.

Jack didn't get to go skiing. Alex stayed with him in the morning while I skied, then we would switch and Alex would snowboard in the afternoon. On our last day, I put him in the daycare at Deer Park. He did really well! The staff gave me a report card that detailed what he ate, what time he took a nap, diaper changes,etc.... In the comment section they wrote "Jack was a ball of energy!", a nice way of saying he was quite a handful. :) When I picked him up, two little cute girls came over to me, very concerned I was taking Jack away from them. Here is a picture of Jack after I picked him up from daycare:

The house we stayed in was beautiful. It is my dream house. Usually when I return from a long trip, I feel so happy to be home. Not this time! I'm really missing the heated bathroom floors. The house also has a heated garage and a heated driveway. The best part about the house is the location. It is walking distance to a Park City Ski Resort ski lift, and is walking distance to downtown where all the restaurants are located.

Both of my boys just LOVED baby Ellie. Here's Jack kissing Ellie. So cute!

Unfortunately, Jack is wearing just a diaper in most of the photos taken. We had a hard time keeping clothes on him, but he loved to wear his new snow boots everywhere.
