We've had a lot of fun this summer but something was missing. With moving to a new house, septic tank trouble, baby under 1, and never ending projects we hadn't taken a vacation. We found a little condo for rent at Eagle Point Ski Resort - just outside of Beaver, Utah.
After settling in we went for a walk and explored the resort. Then Bryan, Heather, and Megan took off on a bike ride. It didn't last long - they were back in 20 minutes. Megan was wiped out and Heather had a head ache and felt sick. 10,000 ft elevation was beginning to take it's toll. Bryan finished his ride and we hung out at the condo.
After dinner we went for a drive and found a fun lake to spend the evening.
The next day everyone was well rested and ready for adventure - except Olivia. She was awake every 30 minutes and done with the vacation. I think the altitude was affecting her. We drove out to Big John's Flat to go for a bike ride with fewer straight up and down trails. Beautiful place and fun trails for biking just needed a few more days to adjust to the elevation.

We didn't end up staying at the condo for the last night. Olivia wasn't doing well so we stayed until bed time and headed home. Olivia finally stopped fussing and fell asleep in Fillmore and slept all night! It was nice to be back in the morning with out the drive home ahead of us. Bryan still had the day off so we spent a good part of the day at Seven Peaks.
This is our summer of enjoying Utah - day trips and camp outs. Our first outing was to the Diamond Fork Hot Springs. 
Bryan has been working hard outside: swimming pool filled, sprinkler system in, sod put in, trees planted, rock walls, sidewalk and porch, garage remodels, fences and a million other little projects. You'd think he would be excited for winter and a chance to relax and recoup. He's tried for a few days and he's stir crazy -so this morning the wall came down.
