| Remember me mentioning heading up the school carnival? That kind of took over my brain the last month of summer. It turned out fine. I shamelessly stole pictures off the PTA blog to show you. I was too busy to shoot pictures myself. Although at times I wanted to shoot myself. |
Concessions. we had snow cones, cotton candy, and popcorn.
Basket auction. We also had a raffle of a BYU basketball signed by the team. Yes Jimmer too.
We served dinner.
And had plenty of carnival games. It looked like rain but it didn't. Perfect weather. I was pretty happy with the results, but last week I went to a PTA meeting where they raised twice as much money doing a Walk-a-thon. Huh. Oh Well.
jeff and I went to Park City for an anniversary trip right after the carnival was over. We were able to stay right in a big resort for a week. The condo was beautiful. I felt like I was staying in Pinocchio's house.
It looked like a little alpine chalet with all of this carved wood and European fixtures.
We hiked to the top of Timpanogos Peak our first day (only 4 hours to the top! Most people take around 6. I felt very speedy).
We also did a hot air balloon ride. I loved it. We've been going to look at the balloons on the 4th of July for years, but this was the first time we went up in one.
We spent one day riding the lifts up to the top of the slopes and then riding down on mountain bikes, but I'm not going to tell you about that because a thunder storm started and it didn't end well :) The rest of the time we were running, shopping, and eating at some fabulous restaurants. Try the Mustang if you're ever up there. We also bought some olive oils and balsamic vinegars at the Mountain Town Olive Oil Company
Anyway you know how I said the acupuncture cured my graves? It didn't last. I might be getting radio-iodine after all. I'm not too happy about it. I'll come back and write about that, Ari's new cochlear implant (on the other side!), some canning and dehydrating projects, and of course, our Faaaaaaabulous Halloween costumes.
