My Mom ended up with forty or so free passes to play up at the Olympic Park in Park City so we got the cousins together to go for a ride. We had plenty of turns going down the zip-lines, the alpine slide and the EXTREME zip line. Believe me it was extreme. I really wanted to do the bob sled but Byron said I would have to wait for winter. He wants to do it on real snow or ice or whatever is on a bobsled run. So for our next Anniversary we are going to do it.
The line of cousins ready to head down the alpine slide. There is a section on the slide where it is built on scaffolding and is really cool. It was very old school roller coasterish. This was worth the wait. We waited twice too because last time we came up to ride it rained on us and we had to take a bus back down to the bottom.
I hate to advertise our favorite restaurants because that could potentially make them more busy the next time we try to go but Bangkok Thai in Park City is by far the best Thai food on the planet. So good. In this photo Tyler had just spilled another glass of water, which made the second for the evening. The funny part was he actually dumped it straight into his lap. That must have been cold.

A trip to Park City isn't complete without a picture by the Bear and a trip to the chocolate store for a caramel apple. The apples were delicious and the bear is as cute as always. We drove the kids by the shoe tree and they spent much time speculating as to why all the people threw their shoes into the tree. Amusing conversation.
This looks like Rachael and Tyler zooming down on the Zip Line. The kids did the short zip and the adults got to do the extreme zip. The extreme zip was fine until they had me propped against the door ready to burst through and then I decided maybe I had made a bad choice here. It was fun though once I finished my initial scream and realized I hadn't plummeted into oblivion.
The cousins had so much fun going down the alpine slide and zip-lines. It was a beautiful day with extra long lines but we still had lots of fun.
