Park City Mountain Resort

Friday, 5 July, we went to Park City for a ride on the Mountain Coaster. The place was packed; the wait for the coaster was an hour and a half. We had some ice cream before heading back, and we stopped by Bam Bam's to pick up some delicious barbecue for supper. As we came down over the hill from Orem to Provo, the sky was growing very dark. The heavens let loose with lightning and huge claps of thunder and we enjoyed a fantastic summer storm. The evening ended with a short visit from Gordon and Alison Reese. Saturday we went to see Despicable Me 2. That evening the adults went to P712 for dinner and afterward Katy and Daniel threw a "Marshmallow Party" for the binkers.

These were a fun few weeks with lots of great adventures. The house is now empty and ever so quiet: a mixed blessing. And "Close the door!" is just a faint echo. Thanks for coming y'all.

This will be all for a while -- until something exciting happens.
