Vacation in Park City

For the past few days we've been vacationing in Park City with Ryan's family. We had a lot of fun!

We went swimming in Kamas. It was so fun! Beckett took to the water like a fish. :)

We rode the Alpine Slide. Ryan and I raced, and I really thought I would win! I didn't even win with a head start.

We barbecued or I should say Ryan barbecued, and I held the baby.

Ryan loves barbecuing and hamburgers. Perfect match!


We went to the Olympic Park. It is amazing what people can do! I couldn't believe all these young kids jumping in all decked out in their ski gear.

This guy was amazing!! Ryan got a video of him jumping. The people inside said he was probably one of the Australian guys, meaning he was on the Australian Olympic Team. It was fascinating.

Having fun back at the timeshare.




On Sunday we went to the Family Tree Visitor's Center in Park City.

The church built it there right before the Olympics. I decided to try and find some lost ancestors on Ryan's side since his Grandma Nelson was with us. To make a long story short I was able to find Ryan's third great grandfather and grandmother that no one has ever been able to find. Many records were burned in a fire and it has been very difficult to find them. Ryan and I have tried to find them before with no luck whatsoever. We found them in an early Canadian census through a website the center pays for. It was truly a miracle and very rewarding!!

Looks like a lot of fun. I went to Park City with my Mom and sister while Jeff was still on his mission. We also went to the Olympic Park, which is a MUST in Park city. We also hit the outlet malls and spent way too much money. Ahh, the memories! Thanks for sharing!

What fun things you have been up to lately, Cec! I'm so glad that you've been able to be with family. Beckett is SO cute! Are you loving motherhood? You look great! I wish I could see you in person. Did your mom tell you I saw her in Winco when I was home to ID a couple weeks ago?
