Xactware Summer Party

Each year Das's work has a summer party.  This is the 3rd year I have gone with Das.  The first year was at Thanksgiving Point, last year was up in Park City(which we left early due to the unfortunate passing of Pete.) and this year was up at Sundance. Each year they give everyone in the family t-shirts or sweat shirts.  Das works for such a great company.  It is hard to have him gone so much, but I am thankful he has a job and for his hard work he puts into it.
Before we got to the party, we stopped to check out some falls.  They weren't the greatest, but it was a nice little walk for us all.  Especially for me....I wasn't feeling so great.
When we got to Sundance, we took the chair lift all the way to the top.  It was a lot longer than we expected.  But it was beautiful.
How cute are my boys!?!
On the way back down, we passed our friend Joe riding up with his daughter Kira.
And Brad with his two girls, Gabriela and Isabel
We then took the kids to the jumpy things.  We got up there to late but earlier they had face panting and pony rides.
We headed back to eat dinner and watch entertainment.....which we didn't stay for.  But the food was wonderful and the company always great.  Thanks Xactware!

THE LION KING

Friday night I had the chance to take the boys to go see The Lion King at the Capitol Theatre.  My favorite uncle Dean had purchased tickets and wasn't able to use them.  Das had his best friend Dan in town, so it worked out perfect.  He went out with Dan for the night and I took the kids to do this.  We met my parents for dinner at Sylvetres first.  And then headed down town.  The seats were the best in the house.  We had front row seats and on the end.  The boys absolutely loved it.  Tristan kept asking me when the curtains went down,"Mom, is it over?" And when I would tell him no he would then turn back to the stage and sigh, "ok Good!" lol  And at the end, Ashton told me that it was a really cool movie.  I enjoyed it myself.  Really glad I got to take them to see it and spend a night with my boys.  Thanks Uncle Dean!  We Love You!
