Park City Utah- August 2012

So, right in the begining of August the Barton Family had a little family reunion in Park City, Utah.  My sister and brother in law, Heather and Jacob, had the right connections and got us a great, huge, beautiful home for an extended weekend.  It was so much fun, and we all enjoyed a little relaxing.  

We went over to the ski-jump training facility and watched the skiers make their jumps into a pool, in the middle of the summer!  It was really neat to watch.  I had no idea they had things like this!  I could have stayed and watched for HOURS. 

 We then all took a short lift ride up the mountain.  Here is David and Betsy waving to the camera.
 Everyone then went over to the Olympic Museam.  We wandered around for a while looking at a bunch of stuff.  It was a pretty neat place.  Here are all the cousins that could come,  SQUEEZING into a bobsled.  It was a TIGHT fit!
 My five, holding onto an official Olympic torch!  They thought it was pretty cool.
 All the cousins that came.  L-R:  Weston, Nathan, Brenan, Jay, Betsy, Kyen, Emily, Shaylin, and Aubrey.  They had SO much fun together.
 
During our stay, there was a young moose that made its appearance a couple times out by the hot tub.  It was fun to watch it wander around like it owned the place!
 Don't mind the hand in the picture.  It took a few shots to get a relatively good shot without us cracking up laughing!  We had a great time together!  The homes behind us look about like the home we stayed in.  Just didn't get a shot of it.  But it was BIG and BEAUTIFUL and a perfect retreat for the end of summer!
