Travel, and lots of it

*See bottom of post for detailed explanation of photo's. Park City Zip Line that we went down.
Watching skiier's jump off one of the Olympic jumps. Pretty cool watching them land in the water.

The view from our hotel room at Park City. It was ritzy. I felt out of my league.
Tractor ride with Grandpa Reed.
The Bear Baiters- minus the two that were pulling the 50 gallon barrel of bear bait up the hill.
Our attempt at a hike that was ruined by the mosquitos.
Can you see the cabin? Cool huh? Wouldn't mind that property!
My little sister- who looks a lot taller than me in this picture! Drat!
Father and Son.

Over the last three weeks, I stayed in 5 different places! We flew to Jackson Hole and spent the 4th with my family. We saw the fireworks, boated, dirt biked, and even bear baited. We ate lots of delicious food and enjoyed good company. I must say, Palisades is my favorite place! Everyone was there in Mom and Dad's 2-room cabin. It was great! The only bad thing was I didn't get to wake board too long because it was so tiring! The next day I was sore, which made me feel old! We ran up to Rexburg and spent a day with Mike's brother and his wife. The kids loved going to demolition derby where they got to see the "cars crash!" We also visited Mike's sisters, Jen and Dedee in Provo. We tried Tucano's Brazilian Grill and enjoyed it. Mike had a chemistry conference in Park City, so Jen watched the kids while I went up there with him. He learned, I just sat by the pool and read a book all day! It was great! (I'm addicted to Fablehaven) We stayed a night with my brother in Bountiful. I was so glad to get to spend the time with everyone. It was a whirlwind! The kids were great and now we are just trying to get our sleep schedules back on the right time zone. Sunday we head to Ohio for a week, so our travels are not yet done! Wish us luck!
