On Sunday we went for walks around the Resort, played games, and met up with some friends of ours that live in Heber. On Monday, for FHE, we took the city bus into downtown Park City.
We walked down Historic Main Street when we found the most interesting thing. Well, Hayden thought it was the most interesting, Kristi and her girls were a little bit disturbed by the site. What we thought was a bear rug, laying half in and half out of a little shop, opened it's eyes to look at us when we stopped to admire it! Ahhhhh! Could it be? It turned out to be a Newfoundland Puppy the size of Dave! And the best news, for Hayden, was there were 2 other similar dogs in the shop and they were equally as large. The owner let the kids pet them and love them. He said they were 180 lbs and only 18 months old....wow! Hayden and Harley jumped right in and hugged and loved the dogs, Kristi's girls were not so willing, they instead, decided to pet the fake fur in the shop next door!
After our dog stop we walked on to the Park City Park and played and played until we were tired and hungry. Well, Harley and Hayden were injured but the rest of us were tired.
Hayden located the trees and began to climb and hang and swing. Harley and Hunter, who are not as skilled in the art of monkey, had a harder time keeping up but they all had fun.
That is until Harley fell from a branch and landed on Hayden who kept her from falling onto the ground. They both ended up with scrapes and bruises, Harley was in tears.
Then it was on to Ice Cream at our favorite place...Cold Stone. Hunter got Mint with Oreo Cookie, Harley got Raspberry Sorbet with Strawberries, Hayden got Vanilla with Strawberries, Dave got Sour Cream with Raspberries, and I got Chocolate Cookie Batter with Oreo Cookie. It was yummy!
On Tuesday we went on a Hike up Holly's Trail. It was really hot and Harley was in flip flops. There were a select few, Matt, Leighton, and Hunter, that decided to continue the trail of death up the mountain, while the rest of us turned to a easier trail and headed back to the air conditioning room or wonder and joy!
Leighton was the lucky one, the kids took turns carrying her up the mountain. It made me sad to think that my kids are old enough to be carrying people. Wow, when did they grow up? Hunter was a great trooper, he even took a turn carrying Bostyn for a little bit!
All of these things are great fun, but the hit of the vacation was the Gondola that ran right outside our building. The kids got on and rode it up and down the mountain about 10 times. We only had one casualty when Bostyn's flip flop fell off her foot and down down down into some bushes. We all went on an adventure to recover the fallen shoe and were successful! It was a close one and all the kids kept their feet securely on the ground the next time they rode the Gondola!
When we did not have scheduled events there was always basketball. Our room was on the 7th floor, the basketball hoop was right below us, so the boys would go out and play while we watched from the balcony.

That looks like a fun family vacation. We need to plan one and actually go for once. We miss being close to those fun areas. Chelsea had fun reading the adventure, she misses Harley and can't believe she's going to be in 6th grade this year.
That looks awesome!! Any chance that the big, black, bear-like dog was called "Snuffles"? :)
