The Alpine Slide

We went to Park City this weekend to ride the alpine slide.   We were glad it wasn't rainy or windy and not too hot (or cold) or crowded.  Everything is very green in Utah these days and Park City was just beautiful.

Here we  are waiting to ride the lift to the top of the alpine slide.  Emma was too small to ride the lift and the alpine slide so she stayed at the bottom with Grandpa.   

Here are Anna and Grandma on the ski lift.  Anna was a little nervous.

Matthew, Grant and I on the ski lift.  Grant wiggled a lot and made me nervous on the lift.  I had an arm around him the whole time.  

John and Scott rode the lift behind us.

Here's part of the alpine slide we could see while going up

Once we got to the top we got our sleds and walked over to the top of the alpine slide.

Here we are waiting in line for our turn.

Almost there!

Anna was still nervous and wanted to ride with Scott.

Matthew was tall enough to go by himself.  Anna was right on the line (of being able to ride alone) but wanted to go with someone else this time.

Grant rode with my mom

John and I rode together.  

Right from the start John wanted to push the lever all the way forward.

Still waiting our turn but almost there.

Matthew raced John and I down.  He was ahead most of the time but John and I won in the end.  Here comes Scott and Anna.  She looked terrified but she said she loved it and wanted to go again.

Here comes Grandma and Grant.  Grant loved it too and said he wanted to go again.

Matthew, Anna, Scott and I also went on the Alpine Coaster.   That was a lot of fun.  You could control your speed and braking going down and I was glad to know I couldn't fall off the track there.

Here's a ski lift view of the alpine coaster.

We had a fun time at the alpine slide, the first time my kids had been on one!  We also drove through historic downtown Park City and then headed back down the mountain to go to our ward pool party.  It was a busy day!
