Sun shy

What do you do at the end of a long weekend when you've had your fill of vit. D? Break out the extra large gardening hats, sunshirts, and gloves :o)

The littlest golfers

One of the fantastic things about Red Ledges is the golf park. For those unfamilar with the term, it's kind like a golf course, but shorter, far more casual, and designed to be fun and easy to play. As a result, it's WAY more accessible to kids. And we gave it a go this past weekend.


The adults hit from the tee, and then the kids putted along with us. Girls did reasonable well, but I think there must be something about a golf course that brings out TOP volume in C. Man that girl can be loud :o)

Girls dropped out about two thirds of the way in favor of a movie in the AC at Nancy's, but the rest of us finished strong, and had tons of fun doing so.




Thank you Norm and Jean for hosting! First round of golf for the little ones? Check.

A more musical playground

This weekend we went to burn off some steam at the trailside playground, and came down the stairs to find this!

A huge new music installation, completed with mallets for the xylaphones (I guess is what you'd call them?) The girls LOVED playing, especially C...

Summer time fun

Concerts started up again at Newpark. It might be my absolute favorite thing to do on a week day, and it looks like I'm not the only one enjoying myself :o)

Father's Day Weekend

Happy belated father's day to all the dads out there! We had a fantastic weekend here in PC. Alex celebrated fathers day with a round of golf, so of course the girls had to get some practing in so they can play with him some day.

C's getting it...


M not so much yet.
Some kind of crazy hockey/shuffleboard/curling stance/grip she's got going on here


Either way it was a beautiful day to be out on the range...

...and in by the pool once golf was done...


...and sound asleep before we got home :o)

PC Trail Series - 2017 Part 1

Blogging for postarity - the other big event this past weekend was race one of the Park City Trail Series. 5K on pretty easy trails. It was officially the first race I attempted in Utah. Last year I survived. This year I did much better :o)


One down, three to go!

Growing Tree 2.0

We did it! This weekend we did much digging and planted ourselves a brand new growing tree!

It's a blue spruce like the ones in the back, just quite a bit smaller. All the better for growing :o)


Mother nature was pleased.
