Trip to Utah - Part 2

The last week of my trip was spent with my family. My siblings had the week off of school for "ski week" (yes, in California we have a week off of school every February so people can go on vacation to ski) and so we all stayed at the Brinton's house in Provo for a fabulous week together. Highlights of the week:

An afternoon of tubing at Soldier Hollow! This was my first time going to this place, and it was a total blast! Annie went with me and she was so brave, I was so proud of her. We zoomed down those hills so fast, and she hung in there for 3 whole runs. After that though, she decided she would rather play in the snow with her cousin Scotty.
Going to the BYU Bookstore, eating sweets from the candy counter, buying a pink BYU blanket, and bowling at the BYU Games Center.

Shopping! I love shopping with my mom and sisters. We hit the mall a few times, the Park City Outlets (again), the Bare Minerals counter at Nordstrom (thanks again, Mom!), a cute furniture store, and got a few things for my birthday:) Here's Annie in a dress shop . . . . she thought all these "princess dresses" were "so beautiful!"

Meeting up with our friends from Ohio, the Collins, for an afternoon at Trafalga. Annie loved seeing Amber again, and we had a great time visiting and letting the kids play games, mini-golf, eat dippin' dots, etc. Thanks for all the sweet hook-ups, Brintons and Jeff!

Eating out! We love eating out in Provo . . . . this week's itinerary included Brick Oven, Cafe Rio, Macaroni Grill, P.F. Chang's, and Toucano's. This is at Toucano's - I'm sitting next to my cute sil, Katherine.

And of course, just hanging out with my family!

That looks so fun. I am jealous of all the fabulous places you went out to eat! I think we need to instigate a "ski week" in my family.
