it was the women of the hardcastle/petersen family's annual labor day weekend getaway to midway utah for swiss days and park city utah for shopping. i think i wouldn't be putting words into any of these fine ladies' mouths to say that we all had a fabulous time. with our toms shoes on we were ready to take on the crafts at swiss days. my favorite part of swiss days this year were the cocoa hut drinks. choose your chocolate type (dark please), then your flavor (oh, banana), and if you're feeling crazy get the boost (what exactly is the boost? a variety of vitamin b's and other natural stimulants...sure i'll try that). my favorite part of the weekend was trying to get them all to fall in love with justin beiber. i think jodi is on board. mel for sure is not. i also loved the "secret sister" gifts aunt karen gave to us. so cute and creative. they trumped the rest of our treats we brought to share with everyone (sorry jodi, it was the thought behind her treats that won me over the blue lemon cookies, although they were a close second).
i can't tell you how much i love each and every one of these women. they are unique, talented, beautiful, inspired, fabulous women and i'm so happy they are my family. thanks leeann for another great swiss days trip!
also over the weekend gordon and i tried a restaurant, sandy's, i thought was just for the older adults (you know the 70+ crowd). i ate the best peach pie i've ever had in my entire life! everything is homemade there...all from scratch. there are a few more menu items i wouldn't mind trying so we'll be going back there (hopefully before the peach pie is gone for the season)!
on sunday we took the cruiser out. i love riding in this thing! and the weather is making it that much more enjoyable. i can't wait for some fall foilage rides soon!
to relax on labor day gordon and his friends went up the mountain to shoot some guns and i went to see the movie "the help" with my sister and mom. heartwarming movie. i loved the book and thought the movie followed it very closely.
i love long weekends spent with the ones i love most.
