Utah Trip - Park City and Night's celebration - July 5, 2016
After the trailride, we drove over to Park City which is , usually, a ski resort, but during the summer, it becomes a VERY popular spot with the kids! There was an infamous "Slider" which is a sled on wheels that runs down a bobsled-type run. And then there was the "Coaster" which was like a roller coaster only you use a one man sled to go through it.
We had to stand in
a long line to buy tickets, which was bad because it was right in front
of the end of the Slider. There were 4 tracks and the little bitty sled
they put you on goes RACING down the hill. There is a brake on the sled.
So...all the men said I had to go down AFTER they did, because they didn't
want to have to run me over as I would probably be braking all the way
down! HA! Oh, my GAWD, what Have I gotten myself into!??
We were to use the ski-lift
to get up the mountain!
Looking down you could
see other victims sliding their way down!
I got a picture of Alex and
Randy on the way up.
Luke and Danny were on the
other side of the lift. Luke had something wrong with his tongue, poor
boy!
Luke and Danny headed
up the pack. Randy then Alex then ME! EEKS! The park worker was giving
us directions.
It was a lovely walk
of doom!
We were given our deathsleds
and told to take them to the ignition zone.
Danny took this picture
of me arriving a ground zero! Notice the poor guy in back of me had to
put up with a nervous nelly in front of him...tch...tch..he probably figures
he wasted $16!
We waited in the coaster line for over an hour! Bah-humbug. We get to the top and they say that I cannot take my camera and purse. They said I could leave if over there around the corner and pick them up afterward. I expected lockers, but all they had were open boxes where you put your valuables along with everyone else's! Holy cow! I was NOT going to do that; so, it gave me an "out" on the coaster!! Randy and Danny both offered to hold them while I went, but I figured that was nice of them but not necessary! HA!
This was Alex getting loaded into a coaster.
Randy gets loaded!
Danny gets Loaded!
I walked around while
they played and picked them up when they all got off the coaster. As we
left Park City, I gave my coaster ticket to a nice lady standing in line.
I told her not to take her purse with her!
Luke gets loaded!
That evening back
at the rent house, Carla had invited her cousin Emily to come over with
her kids! Emily was Mary's sister Colleen's daughter. This Austin, Anne,
Emily, Alexander and Carla.
Austin and Alexander,
Jacey and Lilly, Leticia, Gabriella, Christian and Luke.
Danny poses with Emily.
Leticia, Emily's oldest watches.
Gabriella, Christian
and Luke look like they are up to no good! It MIGHT have had something
to do with Luke's FARTING machine! He was blaming Christian for all the
farting that was going on! HA!
A beautiful sunset
across the street ends a wonderful day!
