What a fun trip Park City is. I recommend it to anyone just wanting a bit of a getaway. We bought this Marriott timeshare a few years ago. (Much to Blake's chagrin.) I, however, love it. It MAKES us get away and be a family. There is so much to do in Park City. We had a ball. We hiked to the top of the Y in Provo. Ethan was all over doing that. He heard at football camp that the center of the BYU football team ran the Y in 18 minutes. Now you all know that the center is like the biggest brute of the team. So Ethan was convinced he could run it faster. He ran it in 24 minutes. I couldn't believe he even did it in that time. It was killer! Straight uphill. But such a fun thing to accomplish. I'm sure my friend Heidi, who LOVES BYU, would just be all over doing this feat. ha ha. 
We also went to the Olympic Park. If any of you have not been there yet, I hightly recommend it. We loved this! You can watch the ski jumpers still go off the big jumps and land in a big pool of water. It was really cool. I cannot believe how scary that would be. We also saw the luge were the skeleton and bobsleds go. It was incredibly steep. For a mere sixty dollars, anyone can ride the luge. It takes about sixty seconds flat. We passed. We already tickets for the alpine slide later that day. Anyway, we had just a great trip. My sister-in-law lives in Heber, and we just love the cousins. It's always hard to get back into life after being on vacation!
This is our fam on top of the Y. We even could see above the smog!

Last time we were coming home from St. George I remember thinking how steep the terrain up to the Y looked. I'm impressed! Sounds like you all have fun in Park City. It's a city I love visiting too!
Yay - Allison, I found your blog! And....Christie's too.
One of our favorite things to do was to ride the alpine slide. We did that a few years ago. It is fun but ends too soon.
Last year we hiked the 'Y' for activity days. It was a nice hike and the trail was wide and winding (so at to not be too steep.) I figured that I'd better hike it once in my life since I was a graduate! :)
Hope all is well!

What a fun trip it looks like you had! I love Park City and all the fun things to do there. Maybe if Jenessa really does go to BYU "to room with Hannah" we'll have to hike to the Y. Loved all the pictures. I'll have to put them in the calendar.
24 minutes to the Y? I'm impressed. My son wants to play for BYU when he grows up. Maybe this will have to be one of those "quest" kind of things for him. Have a great day!
