Ski jumping

Olympic ski jump trials were in Park City ahead of the February Olympics. Everyone and their uncle was there so we parked at the bottom of the mountain and hiked up the steep mile plus in snow to enjoy this. Totally worth it. Watching these jumpers fly through the air was incredible! And in between (commercial breaks) there were kids jumping as well. Hopefully, Kyle, Emily & Aaron don't get too many ideas. 
Aaron was pretty unhappy because his feet hurt so much from the long hike up. We waited for a bus for the ride down though that would have been the easier hike.

Olympic Training Center Park City

The kids and I went up to Park City to see the Olympic Training Center. It was amazing! The kids had a blast there checking out the museum. We then watched the ski jumpers practice into water. That is quite the site. We then got some ice cream before hiking up to the top to check out their ropes / challenge course which was like a little Ninja Warrior course. 

Warped wall

The warped wall is much harder than it looks. Eventually Kyle, Emily, and I made it. Emily made it through the entire course. She got creative going on top of some of the really difficult ones, but she did it. Go Emily!
