Utopia House....

 At Family Fun Nighs last year, 4 families went in together to bid on 3 nights at a ranch house in Utopia that one of the NPDS families own. We finally found 3 nights when we were all free...so we headed out right after New Years. At the last minute the Robson's were sick, so we had 8 kids and 6 adults. We had SO much fun. The house was awesome and had beds for 18! There was even a separate bunk bed (separated from the main house by a breezeway) that had 4 sets of bunk beds and a bathoom. Perfect for the big kids!!!!

The weather was cold and rainy but we still had lots of fun outside. They had a big fire pit outside.

 
 
 But sometimes it was nice to curl up on a bunk with your best friend and watch a movie!

 
 AND...if you're really smart you decide not to go on the ride and get to stay alone with all the electronics for yourself. :)
 
 
 The view of the back of the house. It has a screened in porch and a deck all the way around.

 
 The creek was close to the house so the kids had lots of fun playing!


 

 And of course Brenda wanted to sneak in a quick photo shoot at this beautiful old barn!


Just the big kids....such a fun group of kids!!
 Smores by the campfire on a cold night!!
 

 On Saturday Brenda, Brittany and I snuck away to this amazing restaurant. A lady that Brittany works with recommended it. They are only open on Saturdays. The Laurel Tree. The place was absolutely incredible!! Beautiful inside and out. And the food was wonderful. A 4 course meal...with no kids asking for things and we got to sit there as long as we wanted!! We can't wait to go back!


 
We had an awesome time at the Utopia house. We are so incredibly lucky to have such great friends to spend time with. I hope that the kids remember all these fun memories...and we can't wait to plan the next group vacation.
