We are having an awesome time with our super bloggy pals up in Park City, Utah. We had a long trip out here, flying through Houston and a poor man had a medical emergency on our first flight but meeting up with everyone has been great fun. It didn't take long for all the little girls to warm up to one another and in no time they were running through the house, jumping on beds and running around playing together like best friends. How fun it is to have all of us back together but this time with ALL of our children. The first night electronics were a big hit. Here's Lauren playing with Ro & Ree's IPad.
Maisie, Lauren, Ro, Ree & Eliza gathered around the IPad and ready to watch a movie.
Coming home from Barcelona back in April, Maisie's Leapster died and she was really at the point of outgrowing it so instead of buying her another one, I surprised her on the flight out to Utah with a Nintendo DSi and she and Eliza just couldn't get enough of it.
This morning Lauren & Maisie were cute together at breakfast.
Such little cuties!! Maisie, Ro, Tate, Ree, Solli and just behind the sofa, little Liza Lu (Eliza).
Our Utah 2010 red couch picture. Left to right, youngest to oldest: Hannah, Solli, Tate, Lauren, Eliza, Maisie, Ree & Ro. They've all grown so much since our last one in September 2007.
Such cutie-patootie little kids so of course there was paparazzi, Donna, me & Catherine.
Our We tried to re-create the Mama's-to-be photo from the first time we met but little ones kept sneaking in but that's just the way things are now. Donna, Lisa, Catherine (where Julie was in the original), me, Tiffany & M3.
Finally, all the Mamas with their children. Donna & Lauren, Lisa & Tate, Catherine & Hannah, Me with Maisie, Tiffany with Eliza & Solomon and M3 with Ro & Ree.
Maisie decided that she wanted to take some pictures so there were many of the ceiling, odd objects, fuzzy who-knows-what, she did get some good ones like this one of Tiffany
And this cute one of Tate, Solli & Lauren...where are their Mother's letting these little ones climb on tables?!?!?
And finally this one of M3 and I just chillin on the sofa.
We finally got our selves off the sofa and out the door to a fun park with climbing structures and climbing rocks. Maisie and Lauren were buddies climbing to the top of one of the big rocks together.
Later in the afternoon we headed over to Park City Mountain Resort. I love all the hand-holding that happened. This is Maisie and Eliza holding hands and Solli in the stroller.
Maisie and I riding the lift up to the top of the Alpine Slide. I have to say that I don't like heights especially being suspended on a wire so the trip up had me in a bit of a panic but thankfully I wasn't alone in that as M3 was no calmer than I. The little girls though, they were up for the adventure and being on the lift was just good fun!
Maisie and I ready to slide! The slide down the hill was awesome and we all had so much fun.
My camera didn't want to turn on right away so here's just part of our run down the Alpine Slide. M3 and Ro are on the track to our right.
Because only two people could be on a sled and because of age requirements we had to go in shifts, here's Donna & Lauren, Catherine & Ree and Tiffany & Eliza ready to board the lift.
Second shift going up in the lift.
While the second shift was taking their turn on the slide, Maisie and Ro entertained them selves playing with rocks. Who needs toys when rocks are so fun!
Hannah passed the time while her Mama was on the slide by taking a nap.
Catherine and Ro at the end of their run.
Donna & Lauren, looks like they had a good time!
Tate was too young to do the slide but that didn't stop her from a photo-op in one of the sleds.
After everyone who wanted to had their turn on the Alpine slide, a few of us brave Mamas and little ones headed over to the Alpine Coaster for a go at that. Catherine rode with Ro
And here's Maisie and I ready to go.
I recorded our entire ride and it was great fun. As soon as we got off both Maisie and I were ready to go again. We were told that if I pushed the handles forward all the way (pull back for braking) that we would get up to about 30mph and going around the bends we would feel about 3Gs so just to see, I pushed the handles forward the entire trip down because why bother breaking when we could just go for it and have so much fun!! Awesome fun and Maisie and I want to go back again!!
After all the fun of the day and dinner out we returned to the house where we played and of course computers came out...had to up load all the pictures!! Here again Maisie had the camera.
All the little girls had fun playing cooking games for a while but then it was time for some surgery. First Lisa subjected herself to multiple surgeries and here's M3 having a C-section...yeah I don't get it either but everyone had great fun.
Tomorrow we are getting together with many of the local bloggy gals for a bbq and we can't wait!! Time to sleep though, eight children can totally wear out all us Mamas!!
Don't forget to enter my Bento book giveaway over on Maisie Eats Bento.
