Park City with the Arvys

 Steve & Hillary were in town, so Jim & Renae planned a get away for the family!  We went to Park City and stayed in the 3 Kings Condos.  The girls and I went up early on Thursday and Mike & B stayed behind for Football practice (more on football later).  They also picked up Steve from the airport after football and brought him up to meet us.  Hillary and the kids had been there for a week before.  I love this picture of our bike helmets. It has been a biking summer. Mike's getting back into it big time. Riding his bike to work, etc.  He got Amanda a new bike.  We took a family bike ride on the paths in Park City and determined that Brandon needed a new bike with gears.  Then, because it makes him happy, Mike wanted his birthday present to be new bikes for all the kids and ended up buying Sydney a new bike, too!  We are set!
 The next morning we met for breakfast and of course Mike & Steven started a water fight. They like to pour water on each other in places that make it look like they have wet their pants.

 Yep, they succeeded!  Now, Mike decided to bug everyone he would shave his whiskers into a mustache.  YUCK!
 He's pretty proud of it!
 Jim & Renae bought us all day ride passes for everything at Park City resort! Our first choice was to ride the Alpine Coaster and then we did the zip line!

 It was awesome!!

Brandon and Sydney did the trampolines.
 Mike took his bike up the ski lift and rode down. He came down an alternate way and ended up in the parking lot instead of back at the chair lift, but he had a great time and saw more cool stuff than if he had 'stayed on the trail'
 Then, he needed to take Brandon to football practice or he would have gone more.
 So, I took Brandon on the Alpine Coaster one more time and then we got stuck! Apparently, there was an Asian woman that was going so slow, they had to stop and push her.  Closed down the entire ride for 20 minutes!!!  This is a fast ride people!  I kept texting telling Mike we were stuck and he was saying he and Brandon needed to leave, but there was nothing I could do. Finally, one of the workers had to use a 4-wheeler to get to the manual start which was at the base of the hill.....crazy.
 Pretty cool picture though huh!
 Here's Brandon at his football scrimmage.....pretty cool!!  The whole family loved seeing our name on the back of his jersey!
This is at the base of the zip line.  Sydney, Amanda, Maddie, Zac and Jace!
