Yep, I looked up to see Liberty standing next to Caleb feeding him orange wedges. I just laughed and ran to grab the camera. All I have to say is WHATEVER!
Is he CUTE or what???
One more just cause I thought this was cute...he is looking at Craig in the hallway. He loves his Dad!
For our final day we all started at Lindon Elementary for a great game of soda pop kickball (but we used Capri Suns). This is played like normal kick ball except when you get to first you have to stop and get a Capri Sun opened ready to drink...the catch is you can only drink while you are running. You have to have every drop gone by the time you get home because if you aren't done you can't touch home until you are done. When I kicked I was so worried that I would choke while running cause I was scared of getting hit with the ball. Which happened a couple of times, if you can believe it the only one who got hit by the ball (other than being tagged out) was Grandma. I hate to say this (I even told her this) but it was so funny, both times she was the innocent by standard and got pegged twice in the head/face/chest. The entire family was rolling and laughing so hard, luckily she wasn't seriously hurt, and she was a very good sport about it. It was something I don't think anyone will forget! After playing we headed to Grandma & Grandpa's house for a BBQ and water fun. We ate yummy food, and played in the water for most of the day. As we were cleaning up the adults decided that a nice quiet dinner out would be the best way to finish things off. We all headed home and got the families settled and headed to Spanish Fork to go to Prestwich Farms, a old family favorite...with lots of history. 4 of the 7 Veenker children worked there in all different positions. Fond memories of good food.
Overall, I think the Stay-cation was a huge hit! The kids had a great time, the adults didn't complain about it other than footing the bill...but it was a great family memory!
Play Ball!
Zach ready to run!
Craig on 1st base waiting to run and drink his Capri Sun.
Zach waiting his turn to go up the slide
All the kids playing on the waterslide. They were all having a great time until it got too crazy and the plug had to be pulled.
To end off a great weekend all the adults headed out for a great dinner at Prestwich Farms. YUM! At different times Craig, Lori, Wendy, & Doug all worked there. It was a perfect way to end the fun.
Liberty climbing the rock wall...she is up at the top right here.
Zach pretending to be a KSL news anchor
Brit once again was a trooper...I can't believe how well he did hanging out in his stroller for 3 days.
Liberty and Zach at Discovery Gateway
Here we are starting our tour.
Zach playing around in some random safe in the Capital Building
Caleb totally enthusiastic about the Senate Chamber portion of the tour.
Liberty standing in front of a replica of the Liberty Bell
When Liberty walked up to this display in the museum she said to her cousin..."oh tell me this isn't darling." I just laughed...little mini trucks on some sand is darling.
Zach trying to catch grasshoppers...they were all over the place.
Caleb looking out at the pit.
A quick family photo before heading into the museum.
It was really fun...you seriously fly or "zip" down the mountain. So glad I got to do it because that was the only time I did all day...the lines got really long.
After the Zip Line we played around seriously it was a great day...after eating lunch and taking a break to check into our hotel (we stayed one night in a hotel) and taking the kids swimming we headed back for more fun. When we got back we heard that the Alpine Coaster was opened. So of course we ran up there. Okay, I was a bit stressed out about this cause all of my children were going on it. You sit in these...(again photo from Google)
you have a little seat belt on...you can either ride single or double and you are hanging on for dear life. While in line I told Craig he had to take Liberty cause I was so nervous I didn't want her to feed off my nerves. So I went alone. You get all settled into your cart thing and you actually ride this up the mountain instead of the chair lift. It winds up the moutain and it is so pretty. Before I took off up the mountain the worker said to me...keep your seat belt on and don't brake or stop for anything and keep the stick (which controls your speed) pinned. The more I think about it I think he knew that I was nervous...because he told Craig something totally different. To keep it pinned means you are FLYING at top speed. I was scared for my life! I was whipping around these turns and bumps and seriously I was going so fast. Even Craig said that he (and he loves going fast) had to use his brakes around some of the turns. I got of shaking! Craig just laughed when I told him that I never broke and kept my stick pinned. I could have loosened up on the stick to go slower! HELLO! I was just listening to the worker kid, thanks alot! I made it down and wouldn't go on it again. Caleb, Zach and Liberty got off yelling "That was AWESOME!" They kept going on it over and over. So note to self...you don't have to listen so literally to the worker kid ever again! Our day was really fun we all got fried! But I think it was a great way to start our Stay-Cation. Check out the photos...
Craig and the boys heading up the mountain right when we got there...I think they were one of the first ones on. They didn't want to wait for Lib and I.
Caleb coming off his first ride...great fun. Christopher beat him this time but not all day long.
Hayden and Zach coming down the final stretch of the slide
Here is Liberty and Grandma riding down together.
Brit's first carosel ride...he loved it. It was so nice they had little rides and mini golf and other smaller things for people to do.
Caleb playing in the pool
Zach swimming
Liberty loved playing in the pool
Back at Park City Mountain Resort...I couldn't believe what a trooper Brit was all day long being outside most of it and he was as happy as could be. That was so helpful.
By the end of our day...Libery was riding the carousel and you can see that she was pretty tired...she rode the entire ride like this...she was totally in a trance. Kind of funny.
Zach taking his turn on the bungee/trampoline thing...he got to jump for 5 minutes and after he got off he was tired...he said his legs were hurting. Good work out I guess.
One last family photo just before leaving the resort. We all got so burnt but it was so much fun. The kids were asking when we could go back as we left. I guess that means they loved it. 
Me throwing the ball for the first time
All the men measuring which ball is the winner.
Everyone waiting for their turn to throw.
