Midway Vacation

Dave and Julie, Ty's parents, invited us to go on a fun vacation

with them up to Midway for a weekend before school started  back up again for Ty
Wednesday August 17th to Saturday August 20th

we were so excited and hoped right on that opportunity

We stayed in the Ulrich family friend's condo

and it was beautiful

Thank you Bruce and Jody

We went up on Wednesday that week after Ty got home from scouts

we had everything packed earlier and ate before so when he got home

we just packed ourselves and maddux in the car and made our quick drive to Midway

since we got there kinda late that first night we just got 

our car all unpacked found the rooms us and Maddux were staying in

and laid Maddux down

Once Maddux was asleep we just relaxed, talked and played rook and golf with 

Dave and Julie 

On Thursday we woke up had breakfast, made our lunches and packed

snacks and drinks, got in our swim suits, packed up the boat 

and headed to Jordanelle Lake 

We spent the whole day out on the lake 

We drove around for a while

Then Ty got in for a while and then once I finally got brave enough to 

get in the freezing water I got in and got on the wake board

I had just tried wake boarding for the first time just the last time we went boating this year

and LOVED it so I wanted to give it another try and improve 

It was so fun, even when I was dead tired I wanted to keep going

I started going out of the wake but had a hard time getting back in

then after a few times I was able to go out and in on the left side but 

the right side was still a struggle 

We took a small break and had some lunch 

and relaxed for a bit then we went on a ride to get Maddux to take a nap

and it totally worked 

After lunch we went out some more and Dave even went out for a while

We did a little tubing 

which I was terrified of but ended up really liking 

and then headed back to the condo at four 

We got back to the condo, 

went swimming at the indoor community pool, showered

and then I made pizza spaghetti for us for dinner that night

it was so yummy

After dinner we headed into Heber and went to Walmart

and then to get a Shake at the Dairy Keen

got back laid Maddux down 

Then Ty's aunt Deanne and Uncle Scott came up that night 

to be able to spend tomorrow at the lake with us

the rest of the night we played games and chatted until it was time for bed 

Oh and I got FRIED that day 

I know it was my fault but man it hurt 

I had Ty put a lot of Aloe on me 

Thank you Julie for packing some :)

It did make for at least a little tan later though 

We were having so much fun up there I forgot to take pictures until the last day

On Friday Julie had to go up to work for a little while so we went to the lake

with Dave and Scott and Deanne 

we did about the same thing as we did the day before

Wake boarded, skied, Scott skied, we did some swimming

ate some lunch and went for a few boat rides

Maddux had a blast driving the boat 

Ty enjoying a ride 

I was up first that day

and of course did some wake boarding 

I was so excited because after the two days I was able to go

out and back in both sides of the wake

Which is HUGE for me since I just started 

I was so excited 

And I loved how proud Ty was of me 

It made me even more happy 

Thank you Dave, Julie and Ty for all your encouragement

More driving

Maddux thought he was a big boy!

Then it was Ty's turn

He is so fun to watch he is really good and 

makes going out of the wake look like a piece of cake

and it is not it takes a lot of practice

I love watching him jump the wakes

I hope one day I will be able to do that

After me, Ty and Scott all took a turn and after having lunch

it was time to just hang out and swim

we even busted out Maddux's floaty

He has so much fun with us all out there 

After we were done at the lake we met Julie back at the condo

and got some steaks and the rest of dinner ready 

we ate dinner 

and headed over to the outdoor pool and did a little swimming and hot tubing 

we stayed until it was dark we were having so much fun

we got back to the condo, gave maddux a bath laid him down for the night

we all took showers 

and then spent the rest of the night watching TV, eating a dessert I made, 

playing games and chatting.

The next day we just got ready for the day, cleaned the condo

and then did a little shopping at the Park City Outlets 

Then we headed over to Dave and Julies for some hamburgers for dinner

It was the perfect weekend! Thank you so much for all the fun 

We will never forget it and hope to do it again :)
