It feels like an eternity ago.
But, it wasn't.
We got to go to Park City again over Labor Day weekend with my fam, and stay in a FABULOUS condo. We had a great time. So nice to sit back and chill for a while. The weather was beautiful, and I even managed to ride a bike for the first time in years...many years...(I even rode five miles:). That bike ride was def in my top ten memories of awesome parenting; due in part to the fact that Ab screamed at the top of her lungs, "I'M GOING TO DIE!" as if someone was stabbing her repeatedly...the entire first half of the ride. We had chosen to allow her to ride tandem with Blair; she had a child sized bike, and he was biking with a nice man sized one. She was super stoked about the idea, until we started moving. If it weren't for the high-power dramatics, I may have actually chosen to help her. But, I couldn't, it was just too entertaining to watch. Okay fine, at the halfway point, we let her ride in the bike carrier with Deak (who also did his fair share of screaming each time the bike stopped).
But...hey...we had a good time, damn it.
Here is the proof:
Main Street Pizza and Noodle...so overpriced...and so worth it.
Deak believes that in order to properly show a smile, one must completely close their eyes.
Deak was a pro on the slide this time; loving the ride up in the ski lift...and hysterically laughing the entire way down.
Ab's first time riding solo. She did awesome and did not scream at all:)
Cam is such a sweet boy...we are all kind of suckers for him.
The Miner's Day Parade (Do not ask me about Ab's balloon pose, I gave up asking questions many years ago.)
Even though family weekends like this feel at times as if they are a little stressed, they are the stuff that build memories.
And really, what are family memories worth if they don't include moments of near death experiences.;)
This is the good stuff.

Glad you got to go on such a nice trip! And your kids will revel in memories like that for an eternity :)
I SO need to steal your title. We went out of town Labor Day weekend. I was thinking about blogging about it, but you're right, it was an eternity ago. Oh well. You've inspired me!
By the way, these pics are great. It sounds like you had a great time damnit!!
I just LOVE you, Jenny! Just about everything about you!
Great job with your lesson Sunday! And looking forward to your talks thei Sunday. Sheesh...you need a nap!
Jenny, I am totally going to admit my blog stalking. This is Annie (Connors) Merrill. I just found your blog link on John and Ash's. Your little family is so dang cute! I just spent the past 45 minutes getting to know them on your blog. Please don't be freaked out but I've been laughing, and crying, along with you today. You inspire me. I had no idea the challenges you are facing. Suffice it to say that you are my new hero. Who knew the seemingly flawless on-the-ball counselor with the constant smile and perfect outfits has to deal with so many heavy things? Not me. And I will now resolve to be like you. Kind, beautiful, professional, and joyful no matter what seemingly unsurmountable challenges are thrown at you. Sheesh, you are awesome!
Annie
