Summer Vacation Part 1 - Salt Lake City

When summer comes around we like to spend a little of it at Grandma Ricks' house in Salt Lake City. As usual we spend our time there doing a little bit of this and a little bit of that...

Paisley turned 2 and they had a pool party to celebrate!







With daily highs in the 100's, It was a perfect excuse to share one of my favorite childhood stomping grounds with the girls. Sugar House park was a huge part of my summers as a kid and it was fun to see the same excitement my girls seemed to have for it as well. There is this great little stream that runs through the park that my siblings and I would wade through, swim in, and explore around. Some 20+ years later it still holds its magic.

We went with Grandma Ricks to This is the Place Heritage Park. Among many things, the girls loved the horse rides and petting zoo. Taylor would have spent all week with these baby sheep if we would have let her.

As a child I fondly remember going to a park with Cinderella's pumpkin coach. I thought since the girls are in the height of their princess obsession that they would enjoy it...and I was right!!

The two amigos. Kennedy and Paisley are only a couple months apart and partners in crime! The are so cute together. This was taken on the day we arrived. They practically had the same outfit on and the same hair do. To top it off they had matching shiners under their eye.

Kami,
The park is next to the millcreek library and up the street from Evergreen Jr. High. It is a cute park.
