Park City

Last week we spent 3 days in Park City. Apparently this time of year is referred to as the muddy season up there, and I wish we knew that before we left. The rain kind of limited what we were able to do, but even so we had a nice, relaxing time together as a family.

We visited the Olympic Park and I am still amazed the ski jumpers have that much guts to launch themselves off such a jump. Crazy!

We enjoyed shopping on Main Street, swimming at the hotel, staying up late and watching movies together.

The local Farmer's Market stayed open even during the rain, and what's a Farmer's Market without some delicious corn on the cob?

Pony Express Days

The first part of June we were able to enjoy the annual Pony Express Days here in the community and celebrated with a week's worth of events.

Geocaching

Movie night at the amphitheater

A fun parade
And we even caught the last 1/2 hour of the Darryl Worley concert along with an awesome fireworks display.

We enjoyed the week!

Geocaching:

is an outdoor treasure-hunting game in which the participants use a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver or other navigational techniques to hide and seek containers (called "geocaches" or "caches") anywhere in the world. A typical cache is a small waterproof container (usually a tupperware or ammo box) containing a logbook and "treasure," usually toys or trinkets of little value.

This is how we spent our afternoon yesterday. Clint's friend owns a GPS system and invited us to go on a "treasure hunt." The kids absolutely loved it and enjoyed searching for the hidden boxes. After finding the cache they each got to take a prize from inside. They felt like little pirates searching for treasure!

Thank you Harwoods!
