we ranaway together.

We decided it was long overdue to run away together as a family. We didn't tell the kids what day we were leaving, or when we would be home. We didn't even tell them the destination. We love a good vacation outside of Utah, but with the age of our littlest, it doesn't sound like as much fun. So, we booked our favorite suite up in Park City at the Newpark Resort. Savannah still remembers our first trip to Newpark, because how can you forget a private hot tub on your balcony? It is pretty awesome.

 It is the perfect distance away from our house to feel like a real vacation, and still not go crazy driving there. I think the kids still managed to get in a fight there, and back!

I took a week long break from social media, and took pictures with my big camera. I need to remind myself to do this more often. Sometimes I look at my phone just out of habit, and it is a bad one.

The kids played with fun new things I brought with us, we went shopping, and ate, and ate some more. I took the bigger 2 to a movie, while Paul stayed back to give Sabrina a nap.

We went swimming as a family every day in the indoor/outdoor pool, and I showed off my awesome cannon ball skills. I also haven't lost my touch in being able to do a perfect headstand in the water either. Paul and I also successfully made Sabrina and Devin cry by dunking them in water.

Even though it was the perfect little getaway, I definitely was ready to be home. My little people love their routine, and it does make hotel living a little crazy.

We are making plans for our next staycation, and we are going to attempt Lagoon with our crazy bunch. I feel like it could either be a disaster, or an absolute blast!
