Park City day


Today we drove to Park City, rode the Alpine Slide & saw the Olympic Park. There were aerial ski jumpers going off into a pool, 90 meter jumpers jumping over the hill, & a 2002 Olympic museum donated by the Olympic Committee. It was very cool - made me realize that part of what I love about Utah is the Mountains - capital M. Tall, majestic mountains making me feel small.



On a cheerier note :p
Jared threw a rip-roaring 60" temper tantrum because he ONLY got to go on the Alpine Slide twice. He is a little spoiled I'm afraid or maybe just trip-tired. He took a nice nap on the way down the canyon & was much more pleasant to interact with for the rest of the night.

Jared fell down the stairs backwards at his grandparent's backyard tonight. We were all standing around playing croquet when he suddenly started going end-over-end-over-end down the stair-well. SO SCARY! Luckily he was fine - Scott & Grandpa Smith both raced to get to him quickly & save him. :) Sweet but let's not do that again, okay??? [Update: Ryan watched the whole thing happen in slow motion - the croquet mallet kept being behind Jared's head so he hit the mallet instead of the concrete twice before Scott got to him. Nice protection - thanks!!!]
