"If you are still in the process of raising children, be aware that the tiny fingerprints that show up on almost every newly cleaned surface, the toys scattered about the house, the piles and piles of laundry to be tackled will disappear all too soon and that you will—to your surprise—miss them profoundly." - Pres. Thomas Monson

Park City, UT

After the reunion, a group of us went to Park City to ride down their Alpine Slide. Riders sit on a sled and slide down a cement track that winds its way down the side of a mountain. We ended up buying the combo pass and rode the Alpine Coaster as well. I highly recommend that you experience both in your lifetime. The Slide was less thrilling than the fast Coaster, but the ski lift ride to the top of the mountain, for the Slide, was so peaceful and a beautiful view. The Coaster is a super fast roller coaster and everyone rides in their own individual car, which sets it apart from other roller coasters I have been on. It's just an awesome experience to ride alone through the wooded hillside. So fun!
(Someone needs to buy these men a razor.)
Derek has a little fear of heights, so I had to physically put him on the lift and he sat curled up in the fetal position for the whole ride up. But he LOVED both coasters and Taylor is just our thrill-seeker. He loved it all!

Dave and I raced down the mountain. He thought I was a long length behind him on the track, so he was surprised when I passed him in the final stretch.
Here I am heckling Dave because I clearly made it to the red zone first.
Here is Dave heckling me because he THOUGHT he was the winner. Ha!
