Park City ~The Canyons~ Get-Together

So I was in charge of planning & securing a location for our family get together this year. I found a pretty cool 4 bedroom joint out at the Canyon's Ski Resort (Park City). We brought Brock's friend Andrew "Warner" Dent with us, and yes, it was a Warner Reunion and Drew's middle name really is Warner, so it seemed very fitting to bring him! lol :)





I was the most excited to go out to the Park City Mountain Resort and do the Alpine Slide - so were the boys. But first of all, Dani Taylor took family pictures of individual families and full family shots. She did a fantastic job. (Getting my boys to smile and Gage to actually look at the camera is like pulling teeth)

So we get to (PCMR) and we were excited because we got to ride the ski lift up the mountain - it went soooooooo slow. Then at the top of the mountain we were given an Alpine sled to drag over to the 4 tracks. There were 2 slow tracks and 2 fast tracks... guess which ones we chose??? Slow - no joke. So Brock and Drew went down together on the 2 slow tracks. Only I made the mistake of going before Brock (Gage with me). I had no idea what to expect but was warned to not go too fast because you could flip off the track. I was only being responsible... but according to Brock, I was going too SLOW! I was screamed at by Brock the entire time going down the mountain because he wanted to go FASTER. I swear, the adventurous/daring level of a 9-year old boy is amazing. So we get to the bottom of the mountain and Brock was nearly in tears because I ruined the ride for him!! The little ungreatful stinker. Needless to say I took them back the next day to go down the Alpine Slide (yet again) so I could redeem myself and also to let the boys go down the fast track. Yes, I did redeem myself, and the boys had a great time going down the more fast & scary tracks.







We also went out to the Olympic Park and watched skiiers down off the ski jumps and land in the pool - it was so rad!


Ski Jumper movie

We played alot of games out at the condo like soda tasting,a hidden Idol, which Wes found on top of the hotwater heater downstairs. It was the box that my Harajuku Lovers Perfume "G" (Gwen Stefani) came in. It was the coolest box and very fitting, because everyone was told to find a hidden "Idol" and Gwen is my idol. We also had a funny hat competition,






fashion show with Brock and Drew as the judges (see movie)




The results are in........... The Winner of the Fashion Show is Shane! And he wins a $25 Hagen Daaz gift certificate out at the Gateway!



the Newlywed Game = hosted by Shane (TMI at this game), etc. We all had fun. There were 2 great pools and 2 hottubs that the boys loved although it was a little chilly up in the mountains!

Jon and I took the family out to Main Street Pizza and Noodle, they make the best Pizzas I've ever had, especially their cheese pizza. Jon and I always have to order the Tequila Lime Chicken Pasta too - it is to die for!







The carpet in the condo was a little on the filthy side so Jon called the owner because he just happened to have his carpet cleaning truck out there, and basically told him that he would clean the entire thing, and if he was impressed by what a great job he did, then to send a check out. Jon gave him a great deal! It's Wes & Becca's turn next year! Best of Luck!
