HOT FUN

Summer seems to have arrived. On the 1st of June someone flipped a switch and warm weather was upon us. We had to turn the ceiling fans on in our house, and we haven't turned them off since. The grass needs to be watered and the mower is busy.

We are grateful to be living in the mountains were it is 10-12 degrees cooler than the Salt Lake Valley. Summer in Park City reminds me a lot of summer in Whistler. When our kids were young, we spent a week every summer in Whistler because there was so much to do.  We have those same opportunities here, and more.....

mountain biking,

Hiking,

enjoying the many booths at the Park City Arts and Crafts Fair  (the above cactus are metal sculptures)

Experiencing the Utah Olympic Park...

This is the view from the café where I work.....

All day I get to watch the skiers on the freestyle team come down these ski jumps and do flips and other aerial acrobatics into this pool.

Watching the "Tour of Utah" Bike Race that starts in Park City then heads up over Empire Pass at 9000 feet and comes down Big Cottonwood Canyon to the bottom (where this picture was taken) and turns and goes back up Little Cottonwood Canyon...

Which makes Chuck and I anxious to get out and ride as well...

Riding the chairlift up to do the Alpine Slide...

We are enjoying exploring our new home. If any of you would like to explore with us, come on down- we have lots of room!
