Park City

August 4-6:
We spent the weekend in beautiful Park City, Utah for McKenna's soccer tournament.  It was so nice to get away from the heat of St. George for a while and enjoy the cooler mountain air.  Except for the spectacular lightning storm one night (after we were done playing, thank goodness) the weather was perfect!

It had been a long time since we had been to Park City so we really enjoyed getting back to the Wasatch Mountains and enjoying the beauty of them.  SU Thunder did great in their tournament, finishing third which was a huge accomplishment playing against stronger and bigger teams from up north.  Way to go girls!





We also enjoyed seeing some of the sights like the Olympic Ski Jumping venue - Wow! Did it look huge! We all agreed that we would never be able to go down that!  We also had a blast on the Alpine Slide.  Many years ago we had rode on it but it was so much fun to be back and enjoy it with McKenna and her friends.  It's pretty zippy and you can get going pretty fast on it.  Except poor McKenna didn't have enough weight to push her down the mountain very fast! Ha!  I think my favorite part, however, was riding up on the ski lift - I could have sat there all day and enjoyed the beauty and serenity of the mountains!

Yikes!  Can you imagine up close?




Go Daddy-O!





We also took in a Real Salt Lake Game with the team which was really fun - and they won!
