Last summer adventure day.

It was our last summer adventure day trip. The boys start school on Monday so we decided to head up to Park City. We rode the Gondola's and did some shopping at the farmers market.



At first the boys were a little nervous about riding in them but they did get used to them and really enjoyed the ride.



It was a little high up and fairly windy but a lot of fun.



Then we decided to take a trip over to the Alpine Slide for a ride on that. We got to ride the ski lift up and on the way Jacob noticed that there were several Kevins playing in the grass below us.





And here come the boys...









And when we were all done the boys stopped for a rest and Zach fell asleep.



The boys decided that this was their favorite activity of the summer. They also agreed it was even better because dad got to come along.

Gateway again.

Almost to the end of summer break. I have mixed feelings about it. But we decided to go up to the gateway for our adventure this week. We went with some friends and road the trax train again.



After playing in the fountain and eating lunch we decided to ride down to the Frontrunner station and take a ride on it also. We rode it to the end of the line and back. The boys were worried about being bored and worked word searches and played games on the phone rather then look out the window at the scenery.



And of course we can't take a trip without some little friends.

Cooling off the pool

The pool had reached the point where it was just to unbearable to spend any amount of time in it was 98 degrees. So we decided to go get some dry ice and cool it off. We stood on either side of the pool and submerged a green bag full of ice halfway into the pool. This kept any of it from escaping and touching the sides of the pool.



It took about an hour of bubbling fogginess I didn't realize that dry ice would take so long to melt. But when it was all said and done the final temp was 86 degrees. And it felt wonderful. Craig has been out of town for a week now and missed out on the fun but hopefully when he gets home the pool will still be a more comfortable temp.
