Park City

Labor Day weekend Rod's Uncle Bob came for a visit. I have not seen him since Rod's Father's funeral. That was around 13 years ago. We have kept in touch through letters, but I was suprised he would make such an effort to come to Utah to see us. We'll we were certainly grateful that he did. He was a delight to have in our home. The kids, especially Halle and Parker, quickly became attached. Halle sobbed the night he left. Since my kids never were able to know there Grandpa Rivers in this life, it was nice for them to have a chance to get to know his brother. We had a fun time showing him a few of the sights in Utah, but mostly enjoyed the time we spent with family. Saturday we decided to take him to Park City. Little did we know that a Mustang Convention was going on. Parking was crazy, but we ended up having a fun time checking out all of the Mustangs.

Justin, Rod, Uncle Bob, and Cory


Riding in style. Rod and Justin were willing to give the littlest ones a lift.


We each tried to find "our" Mustang. Halle, Ryann, and I chose the pink one, of course!

Connor chose a black one! What a shock!

Parker even found one just his size!

It even had "Connor" on the license plate!

There was a policeman there letting kids ride this contraption. It was designed to show them what the impact would feel like in a crash at 10 mph. It was strange. Kids were getting off holding their necks. I am not sure what the point of it was.

After the Mustang party, we headed off to ride the Alpine Slide. We all piled in our car because parking was crazy! The boys were excited to ride in the back.

The ride up was fun. I was worried about taking Parker and Halle up, but they did great. Justin was a big help.

The older kids had a blast with Uncle Cory and Ryann.

It was the first time the kids had ridden the Alpine Slide. They loved it!

Braden had a great time!

Ryann and Connor. Connor is so cool!

Uncle Cory Rocks!!

Justin was nice enough to take Halle down with him. She loved it. They chased Cory the whole way. Justin, you're awesome!!!

Parker got up to the start of the slide and refused to go. Of course, at that point we had no other choice. He was crying, but once we started going he had a lot of fun.

While the older kids rode the Coaster, the little kids rode a couple of rides. When I bought the tickets, I thought I paid $3 for them to ride the three rides. But of course it ended up being $3 a ride! Halle chose the Carousel.

Parker chose the rocket train thing!?! The guy was nice enough to let Halle hitch a ride.

All in all it was a fun, but expensive day.
