Waiting for the free bus. To take us from the ski area's to main street.

Kelty, Gene, Jesse at the top of main street. So not crowded so not what I expected. So nice.
Score 8 for me.

When we left main street it was just about time for the Pro. part of the tour of Utah. Pretty sure I saw the guy who rode with Lance Armstrong. That is only after I called my sister and said since we are here who should we be looking for?

Gene then had the brilliant idea of going to Olympic park. Score 1 for Gene this was awesome. It was free and you could see them going of the jumps and splashing in the water. Totally memorized all for us for like 45 mins. It was awesome well worth going to if your going to Park City. Also it's FREE. Even better.

Then when the day was all said and done we went to granny's in Heber for a shake for the ride home. Again Gene's idea score 2 for him.

We had a wedding to go to in Wanship. So that is why we made a day of hanging in park city. So worth it. We also did it on a very friendly budget. $36 dollars for the Alpine slide, $0 money for the bus ride to main street. Walking main street and it not being busy considering what was going on $0. Going to Olympic park and watching the skier's practice $0.

Going to a wedding for a great friend. Priceless.

Stopping at Granny's for a shake $18 for the 5 of us.

Spending our last Sat. before schools starts with no yelling, kids fighting, asking can I, can I, and the most famous around here i'm bored.

PRICELESS.

We had a great day really didn't hit much by the way of crowds. Someone was defiantly praying for us today. Usually Gene and I fight like no other. We are not good travelers together. Today was so much fun. The kids and I are beat. So final tally

Gene 2

Camille something like a billion for pushing through and just going to do just because I didn't want to sit home.

What a wonderful day. Hope our next day outing is a good as this one.

Park City

A day of fun and playing in Park City it was awesome. We where a little bit apprehensive since we had heard that the Tour Of Utah was going to be there. Not only there but they where doing time trials so it was a course set up and they lapped main street. Many of you who know Gene

know crowds and Gene do not mix. Do not press go, do not mix. It really is that bad.

Well me being me and wanted to do something fun with the kids for one last whoraaa befor

e school started thought it would be ok to go.

We drove into to town the billboard thingy was flashing that said turn your radio to certain station for event traffic info. The butterflys where flying by this time in my stomach.

We head right for the Alpine slide. I love the Alpine slide, Gene hates it. Are you sensing a theme here? No wait to buy the tickets. Score 1 for me. (now would be a good time to get out your pencil and paper as I will be talling up the scores at the end.)

Gene wouldn't ride, he didn't care if the kids and I did he just hates getting behind that one slow person. He happily walked around while we went to the tram. We waited like 10 mins for the tram, score 2 for me.

It was a beautiful day a little windy but that keep it nice and cool. Score 3 for me.

Take the time and go sharpen your pencil it will be worth it. I wil

l wait.

Kids sitting on one of the fake lift chairs they have around Park City.

Happy smiling kids. Score 4 for me.

Hearing our instructions. No racing, bumping, going super fast. Yada yada yada. I tuned the guy out about right here.

James doing his best to beat me and jesse down the slide. Look at that face who wouldn't love that. Score 5 for me.

Instructions, smuctions. Who needs them right?

Kelty on the alpine slide. It was awesome.

She really was having a fun time she was laughing at me and kept telling me not to drop the camera.

Score 6 for me.

Jesse and I he did all the steering it was great. He had a blast. He was laughing so hard and kept passing kelty. He loved it. Score 6 for me.

score 7 for me.

Just another shot of James racing down the mountain.

See next post for the rest of our day it gets better.

Score tally so far: Me 7 Gene 0

This is what I did this morning. Made cinnamon rolls. They are heavenly and to die for. Sorry I had to brag a little bit I mean I did make them. hehehe

I have a funny story to tell and since I kinda use this as a journal I wanted to write it down so I would have it.

My grandma Whiting and her sister where called the bread lady's they went all over Springville and Mapleton doing bread demonstration. Probably more places I just can't remember.

When the Crandall great-grandkids would get married Aunt Hortense would always give us a bread board, rolling pin and cover for the bread board. It was standard you knew when it was time to have the Crandall shower you where getting certain things from certain family members. My family always gave the big Magna-lite pan. Its one of those weird quirky things we did.

Back to toady. As I was making my dough it was like I had two little birds sitting on my shoulder telling me how to do everything. Trust me I wasn't doing it right. They walked me through the whole process. I don't know why this happened to me today but it did. I am so lucky that I came from such a great family with wonderful qualities. (Crandall Clean) anyone? Someone out there that reads this has to know what this means.

It was great to have them sitting here talking to me. I am not crazy, the voices in my head tell me I am not. I could here them talking and laughing to me. Just like the old days. It was amazing how real they where. It was as real to me as breathing. I love my heritage, my grandma always made sure she always talked to me about where I came from and knew who my ancestors where. That was huge to here, she wanted to make sure she told me why I was the way I was and what makes me who I am.

I love my family and even if my grandma comes to me in little doses when I am cooking and tells me what I am doing wrong. I know she loves me cause if she didn't love me she wouldn't be here telling me that I am doing it wrong. She wants me to do it right.

So thank you Grandma and Aunt Hortense for telling me what I am doing wrong so that I can be a better person and make it right. I love my family.
