June 16, 2012- Joey really wanted to take the kids to the Alpine Slide in Park City for his birthday, but we never found time to fit it in. So, we went for Father's Day instead. The Saturday before father's Day we and our neighbors/good friends, the Howards drove up to Park City to hit the slides. They have a baby who is 4 days shy of one years old and can't ride the slide so we took turns waiting at the bottom with Adele(the baby). We went first with our kids. you stand in line to get on the shair lift that takes you to the top of the slide. Then you get your cart and drag it down the path to the slide. Then you wait in line to ride down. Since Gus and Leo are too short to ride alone, I took Gus the first time down and Joey took Leo. They have two sets of tracks that run next to each other so I went first with Gus driving on my lap, next to Carly on the slide next to us. Gus had a hard time pushing forward the whole time to keep off the brakes. So, he would go and go until he was in front of Carly and then let go of the stick to rest. Then when Carly would catch up he would go again! Joey rode behind us with Leo and Max on the track next to him. Joey must have gone full speed the whole way down because when Leo got off his hair was wind blown and he was jumping up and down pumping his fists smiling and shouting about how he wanted to do it again! It was so stinking cute!
Candace and Jared went with me and Leo and Carly this time. Joey stayed with Adele and Max and Gus. They got snow cones to eat while they waited so they were good! The second time down with Leo on my lap I went a bit faster and even got some air on one of the jumps. Then Joey went on the third trip down with Gus and Max. Candace and Jared also went on the Roller Coaster while I sat with Adele.
It was a fun time had by all! If you have never tried it before I would recommend it. It is a bit pricey but worth it for the experience! The kids loved it and I love to see them having a good time!After we finished our rides, we went to the Red Banjo Pizzaria for dinner. Had some delicious pizza, then headed to the outlet stores at Kimball Junction on the way home. We got Max and Leo some new shoes at the Van's store and Candace got some stuff for Adele at Children's Place. We went our seperate ways from there but Candace and Jared came over later for games after the kids were in bed! What a fun day!
