Park City get away

Payton and Connor had to show me a new trick they had learned; climb the apple tree and get on the roof of the shed. Their mom did the same thing when she was young.

This time of year is wonderful with pleasant temperatures and the garden near its peak. Our sunflowers are out and it will be time to get the seeds.

On September 17th we went to Park City to do our annual slide day as a family. We have been doing this for years. It started out when the kids were young and they would earn the money through the 4th of July booth we did at Farr West. Now we can afford it as a regular activity but going to Park City is always looked forward to. We had to take turns doing the slides as Aubrey is too young but it allowed us time to with each other.

Payton had to go on her own this time as she is too tall, but there is not much weight there to get her going very fast down the track, She was a little nervous but still had fun on her first solo though I don't know about the people behind her.

Maddie posed for us as we got on the chair lift. The fall colors were out and riding the chair lift and looking at the changing colors is an extra to doing the slide.

That afternoon we swam in the Mountain Side Pool and stayed there overnight. We had a nice dinner and then Maddie was left with Connor and Payton while Cindy and I went to the BYU game and Nic and Shannon had a dinner with the Rich's. Cameron and Cecelia had to be home that night. The next morning we noticed balloons in the sky.

We went down to Park Meadows and watched the balloons up close.

One dropped down and skimmed the pond. That is pretty good piloting.
