Labor Day Weekend

Labor Day weekend proved to be pretty fun this year. We kicked it off with a Greek wedding in Park City and had tons of fun with our good friends Justin and Rachael Rich. It was so nice to enjoy the day with them! We all spent the night at the Newpark Hotel which is totally gorgeous...The wedding was for Ryan's Beta brother Joey Pantone and Ashley Laurella. Their reception was outside at her parent's home, or should I say their estate? (this was more than one house on the most beautiful piece of property I've ever seen, complete with a lake and guest "cottage" which was probably 3x the size of our house.) Needless to say it was a lot of fun! We NEVER get a chance to get all dressed up! I think I may have enjoyed that part more than Ry though...

Yes, that's the "cottage" in the background. Seriously?!


I know this is cheesy. What is it about weddings that make you feel all gushy inside? Look at Ryan! It even got to him! The lanterns and lights inside the tents were so beautiful..

**Thanks Deb and Antone for watching the girls and giving us a night off! We love you..


This is the Place Park

This was our first visit there and I have to say that we'll be going back. We didn't really know what to expect, but it's huge and there's so much to see and do! The girls thought it was pretty cool too. Imagine Gardner Village, just bigger and more authentic to pioneer times. The kids can do crafts and activities, there are places to eat, animals, pony rides, and a train. They're having events scheduled for Fall/Halloween and even Christmas. Anyone want to go with us next time?
