We spent a week in Park City with Mike's parents and Sharon and Joe's family in August. It was nice and relaxing. We played tons of games, went swimming, and did a few touristy things, but mostly just hung out.
We happen to be there the weekend that the big bike race "Tour of Utah" went through Park City. They had a street fair around the finish line for stage 7. We enjoyed walking the street and getting lots of fun free sunglasses, frisbees, cow bells, and whatnot.
We found a place a little high up where we could see. It was the last sprint to the finish.
I was shocked how fast they were!
Then we hiked back. With my knee, I was unstable and definitely not up for extra weight. Mike saved the day for tired legs. :)
We spent lots of time at playgrounds.
We went to Olympic Park, where they train ski jumps. They are in swimsuits and skis and do their tricks and land in the pool. Then they carry their skis back up a million stairs and do it again. We watched kids from about age 5ish to 16ish. It was pretty cool to watch. Spencer LOVED it! Every time someone went off, he said, "OOOOHHH!!! WOW!!!! COOOOL!!!!" And then he clapped. It was so cute.
Another day we did the Alpine Slide. Michael rode with me, Luke rode with Mike, and Isabelle drove her own.
The kids loved riding the ski lifts. We got to ride a couple the week we were there.
So proud of this girl for making it to the bottom! She was SO nervous at the beginning. I was on the one next to her and tried to encourage her, but had to speed up for the people behind us, so I left her in the dust. It took forever, but she finally showed up at the bottom all smiles and not scared!
I'm sure Mike's mom has lots more pictures. That's all I have. But it was fun!
