Anyway this past weekend was pretty insane. We began it on Thursday. Brian's nephew Dillan was playing soccer up at Park City. It was a huge tournament and since Brian and I had a wedding we were going to on Friday we just left early to catch his game on Thursday and to go shopping with his family. Dillan's team put up a really good fight all weekend but lost two games and tied one. He played a lot and had a lot of fun.
After his game on Thursday we hit the outlets for some shopping but Brian and I didn't find anything that we really thought was an amazing deal that day. So we didn't get anything. After shopping we headed to the Alpine Slide. The nieces and nephews had gone the day before but had an extra ticket so they decided to go again since it wasn't going to cost them that much to buy two more tickets. It was so much fun. The kids make it that much more exciting to go on it.

After the Alpine Slide it was time for dinner so we went to this place called Bandits. It had really good BBQ. The guys ate a ton of food since they could get an all you can eat for twenty dollars. They definitely got their money's worth and the waiter was the perfect guy to have with the three of them going to town.

The boys were stuffed after we had been there for several hours. But we were all happy and had a fun night together. After eating we headed for our different areas of lodging. Brian, me, Jan, and Spencer headed to a family cabin and the Poppleton's headed to their hotel room. The next morning Brian and I had my best friend Oly's wedding to go to. So we headed to the beautiful Oquirrh Mountain Temple.
The happy couple coming out
After the temple and the luncheon Brian and I headed back to Park City again. This time Brian and I brought us each a pair of shoes. Then we just watched the nephews and niece again. We ended up staying the night in Park City again even though it was totally unplanned since we wanted to see Dillan play one more game. It was a lot of fun hanging out with the nephews and niece but we had plans to head to Bear Lake on Saturday so it made Saturday a little more rushed for us but it was still worth it.
When we got home from Dillan's game we hurried and repacked to head to Bear Lake. We ended up going boating right when we got there since it was the only time we would be able to that weekend. It was a lot of fun. The water was rough because the wind was blowing so after both of the boys tried to knee board and wake board we ended up tubing as couples. The waves were huge!! It was so much fun but way hard to hold on (which is what tubing is all about anyway right?) After our boat ride we went back to the cabin we were staying in and had some dinner. We then found out that because it was Raspberry days there were fireworks and a boat parade that night. So we ended up back in the boat to head over and watch the fireworks and boat parade from front row seats.
On Sunday Brian and I left Bear Lake with Jan and headed to Perry for my sister's birthday party. It was fun to see my cousins and grandparents. Everyone had a lot of fun and we got a lot accomplished. I was able to get some laundry done, take some pictures of Liz, and have her cut Brian's hair.

After the party we went home and all crashed ready for our early work schedules the next day. We all three headed to work nice and early and then got home around noon. After double checking our packing we headed up to Bear Lake once again for one more night. This time we played on a water tramp and went boating again. Brian and Jan were both able to get up on the wake board and we all really enjoyed some tubing on the molecule. It was fun to have such a crazy weekend but it was a nice break from working too.
Beautiful Bear Lake
