Pukefest 2010

Sorry for the graphic title. Ever since last year's Mower reunion where over half of the attendee's caught stomach flu, our family get-together's are hereon out known as pukefest. Luckily this year was fairly uneventful in that category. (phew) We went to Park City and stayed in a decked-out Marriot resort. It was totally set up for families- which was cool. Any time of day there were several things going on in the resort in addition to the swimming, arcade, kid's hang out room (my kid's fav), excercise room, ect.

When I got home I was surprised how few pictures I had of this part of our trip. I think despite the fun-ness of the resort, I was a little high strung not knowing where my kids were always. They would split up into cousin groups and there were several times I wasn't sure whose room they were in, or where they had headed next. It was a little stressful to me, although no one else seemed to be concerned. Maybe I am psycho paranoid. I was able to keep tabs on the little ones, which was a comfort.

I wish so much I had gotten some pics/footage of everyone playing table tennis. They would hit once and then set the paddle down and the next person would pick up and hit and like 12 of them would play together. I'm sure there is a real name to the game, but I don't know it. It was cool to watch. It's always fun to see the competitiveness kick in. They are all really good.

I didn't want to do Park City without taking the kids to the Alpine Slide. I hadn't been since high school. It wasn't quite all I had remembered, but I am still glad we took the kids. Riley and Parker came too, which made it extra fun for them. I had Zack with me, and he wanted to go fast. I should've sent him with Jeff. I am turning into a chicken liver. Oh well. We couldn't have been too slow- no one rear-ended us.

And so ended our really super duper long several-trips-rolled-into-one trip. Although each thing we did was fun and I loved seeing everyone we saw, I am glad to finally not be living out of a suitcase. 16 days is long to be on the road with 6 kids.
