Weekend Getaway!



We decided to take a little family trip to the Park City area. We know that since we are opening up a new store in March we won't be able to take a family vacation for spring break. It has been a very dry winter this year with hardly any to no snow. We stayed at the Zermott Resort in Midway and eric gave the kids permission to jump on the beds and they were so excited. Stephanie had to finally say no more after it started to get a little out of control! We went on a carriage ride which was supposed to be a sleigh ride but again since there wasn't snow it was a carriage ride. It was really fun. The kids enjoyed themselves too. Eric enjoyed how peaceful it was and relaxing. We also went Tubing at Soldier Hollow. The only place with snow because they make their own! Tubing was such a blast. We couldn't believe how fast you go down this hill! The first time we went down we were like, "Oh my gosh!" Janine hunkered down in the hole of her tube and you wouldn't see her again until you were stopped! Hilarious. Stefan kept going and going and going. This kids had a blast. Jacoby was a year to small to go on the big hill but they did have a little kid one that we would try and sling shot him as hard as we could so he could have a fun ride! Oh and he did. so much in fact that he fell asleep!

At the end of our trip we went over to the Olympic Park and Eric did the skeleton sled. Its the sport where the olympians lie on their stomachs and fly down the track on a little sled, 2-3 inches off the ice! So crazy! The picture of jacoby where he is sitting on the black sled is the same kind that eric went on! Out of 20 people he took 2nd! Going 49.4 MPH! He was flying! He had a blast. There wasn't time for Stephanie to do it so one of our next dates will be going back to Olympic Park and both of us doing it together!
