Thanksgiving Point with the Fisher's and Gibson's

Some of our neighborhood friends from Arrowood come to Park City for 2 weeks every summer. We met up with them on a few days of their trip. On the first day we met at Thanksgiving Point. We started out at the Children's Gardens, then headed to Farm Country, had lunch at the deli, hit the Dinosaur Museum and then finished off the day with ice cream. It was a fun-filled day for everyone. We had 11 kids, 2 dads, 3 moms and 1 nanny to help keep track of all of them. Everyone was constantly counting to make sure we had everyone. It was great to be with everyone.

Annie's Surprise

One of Brynn's best friends from Woodland happened to be passing through Utah on her way home from a cross-country road trip. Annie's mom didn't tell her that we were going to meet each other. The look on Annie's face when Brynn walked into the ice cream shop was priceless! It was so much fun catching up with the Koontz family.

Vest Family Reunion~Service Project

After swimming and playing all day at Deer Creek, we did a family service project in the evening. We cleaned off and trimmed around the headstones of members of our family who have passed on. The adults used the muriatic acid while the kids pulled weeds and trimmed (or had intentions of doing so). Most of the time they ran around and played and tried to stay cool. We tried to keep in the spirit of the service project by talking about our deceased relatives and the fact that through Jesus Christ we will be able to see them again. The highlight of this activity was mom's diaper face mask and Kaden and Isaac's chest bumping. Being around all of these fun kids can make anyone smile.
