Fall is in Full Swing!

We are back at it.  Tennis lessons on Tuesdays. Swimming lessons on Thursdays.  Soccer on Saturday mornings.  Emma is all signed up for ski lessons.  (She is doing the Mountain Team at the Park City Mountain Resort base for 10 weeks.)  Meetings, meetings, and more meetings before and after school.  I have a 1/2 marathon coming up on Saturday, September 16th, so I am "kind of" still training for that in between everything else.  But...we still get out and have our family time, especially when the weekends roll around.   That is a non-negotiable!

 Abby and her good friend, Halle, are on the same soccer team.

Snacks at soccer are the best!

Sunday Funday family hike in Summit Park

Andy and Emma went to a Utes game one night so I let Abby choose what she wanted for dinner.  Her choice--macaroni 'n cheese and beans  

Game time!

more hiking in Summit Park

spending time at the cabin

 Abby wanted to try her "big girl" bike.

 

It wouldn't be a trip to the cabin if you didn't get soft serve ice cream from the Brighton Store.

 Miner's Day (Labor Day) parade on Main Street (after my 10-mile run in the heat...ugh)

 

We love the Park City Marching Band!

Last night we went over to a friend's house to watch some football.  Once it got dark enough, they set up their outdoor screen.  Fun!

And then, obviously, the kids had to put on a show before we left!

Today we went on a fun hike up to Cecret Lake in Little Cottonwood Canyon.  It is usually about a 2-mile hike roundtrip but since the upper parking lot was full and we had to park at the lower parking lot, that added about 3 miles on to our hike.  It was worth it!
