The Rogers Family Does Utah Part 4

On Father's Day it was downright chilly and we were headed to Park City. We have a lot of really great memories, from our days living in Utah, of spending weekends in Park City with some really great friends whose family had a condo there. We had gone there, this day, to ride the Alpine Slide and the Alpine Coaster. Sam was just barely too tall to ride the Alpine Slide as a passenger. He and I rode the lift up together and then went down the slide at the same time, right beside each other. I had been down for quite some time before he finally appeared on the track. He was not impressed with how slowly his cart moved.




The Alpine Coaster was pretty awesome. You get to ride the little car all the way from the bottom to the top, then all of a sudden it turns a bend and you start racing back down. There is a lever on the car to control the speed and it is suggested that you go at top speed, which is what we did. We all enjoyed it very much. Except Claire who, although she did her very best sitting in her stroller all day waiting in line to do nothing, had grown quite tired of her situation. Plus she had come down with a very nasty cold. 






On the way back to Provo, we took Guardsman Pass. It was pretty incredible and we even made a little stop so that the boys could get out and touch some snow. 





Monday we drove up to SLC to meander around Temple Square. I think we were all running out of steam, so we only roamed aimlessly about, but Nathanael did show particular interest in some of the videos in the visitors' center. Then we took Donna out to lunch for her birthday.
