Family Palooza-Fest

Last weekend was so CRAZY. I am still recovering. Seriously. It started on Thursday and ended on Monday night. My little bro came in from NYC, my little sis and niece came in from Virginia via Sun Valley with my parents and older sis, another niece from Lehi, and my in-laws came in from So Cal. Chateau Hopkins held my in-laws the weekend prior and my sis Friday night. Luckily my parents house or the 'lodge' was finished enough to hold everyone else. (Pictures will follow of the 'lodge'- it is amazing!)

We seriously did it all.

Two trips to Park City one including dinner with the in-laws at that fab Italian restaurant at Red Stone. The other included shopping with my bro. A cook out in Brighton at our favorite family camp site we claimed when I was a little kid. We didn't get to hike or play kick the can but devoured the roasted marshmallows and hiked to 'the rock'. Delish lasagna dinner at grandmas in her gorgeous English garden. Two girls' breakfasts- Ruth's with the Perris and Mimi's with the Perschon cousins (we missed you Mindy). It was so fun to catch up and of course you can't beat breakfast! Two movies- What Happens In Vegas with Gabe since she hadn't seen it and Step Brothers with Ches. Totally inappropriate, crude, and no real plot. That said it was hilarious and had some super funny parts. I laughed a ton. Lots of games at the 'lodge' with my siblings and niece. Swimming- because what is summer without hitting up the pool for some fun in the sun. There were also a few lunches, shopping, and trips to the airport.

Thanks everyone for coming to visit...we had the best time!

The only good thing about having family living far away is getting back together again!

Glad you all had so much fun!

Sounds like a blast! You have to have vacations like that sometime... just go go go go go! But you do need to take a big break after that... enjoy recovering!

Grams told me how fun it was to hang out with you and all the great grandkids--and those biscuits look amazing--do you think they do mail order??
