These Southern Ladies and Gents were not prepared for the cold temperatures to come in Utah! In fact we barely had jackets! This Louisiana Living will get you spoiled to not having a Winter! So, we got all geared up to hit the slopes! We are super excited and even if I have to say so myself… we are some pretty stylin’ Southerners… that do not know how to ski!! haha

Park City Mountain Fun
The most amazing thing about PC is that it is just as much fun in the Summer as it is the Winter! We spent the day at the mountain and did a million fun activities! It was the “Tour of Utah” bicycle race that same weekend so it was a little crowded, but we had a blast. Jillian pulled off two back flips on the trampoline and brooks said he was Spiderman! I didn’t get it on video but Jillian later did two front flips! Lots and Lots of hard work for that. Here is the link to Park City Mountain site. Pack your bags cause we cannot wait to see you!

Heaven On Earth
After a long day of seeing all the beautiful sites with the kids we took a COLD swim and headed to Empire Pass for desert! There are times in your life where children say things that total stop you in your tracks… Our desert time was one of them… Jillian, as she was eating her desert of iced sugar cookies, didn’t even look away from the mountain and said, “Mommy… This place is amazing… we are so lucky to be moving here… some people may never get to see these wonderful things God created… and I get to LIVE here!”. Tears formed in my eyes and at that very moment… I realized this, Park City, Utah was going to be a wonderful place we call HOME! I have a small tear forming now as I think that I am even missing one moment there. We are so blessed and all ready to have many, many more sunsets atop Empire Pass! Thank you God for creating “Heaven on Earth”!
Here is a link to the lodge that is just a few feet down from where we were… If anyone is looking for a great Winter vacation… Montage Deer Valley
Fun in the Sun!
Jillian wanted to “run” to the very top
So beautiful!

Olympic Park
SLC & PC held the 2002 Winter Olympics… This is one of the facilities that they used. Now it is a museum and an adventure park for tourists. There is so much to do here! Brooks and Jillian got to ride their very first ski lift and summer bobsled! Jillian and Brooks were not happy that I didn’t sign them up for the ski training! There is always next year! Check out the link to Olympic Park! You will all have so much fun when you come visit us!

Kids Trip to Utah
I have an amazing friend, Beth Baker, that got us tickets to SLC! Mom made the journey with us. I was so excited that the kiddos could see what we were talking about when we said we were moving to Park City. It is an amazing place and we feel very fortunate that we get to call this beautiful place home for a few years. The kids were not happy that we had to go back to Louisiana. Which is a good thing for me! This is the beginning of our wonderful journey and I am so excited that I could share this with everyone.

First Trip to Utah
Here We Go…
7-Eleven sent us on a “Look & See” trip to Salt Lake City (commonly referred to as SLC) in late July… It was a hard trip. We were still reeling from the news and had to wrap our heads around the move. But what we saw was breathtaking and helped tremendously with the decision. After looking around I think we are pretty well set on the idea of living in Park City (commonly referred to as PC). It is amazing and seems to be very family oriented.

This is where we get to call home!
Dont let this fool you… It stinks!
