We didn't rush on Thursday morning. After all, vacation means relaxing. After we woke up, we got ready, had breakfast, and headed up to the Olympic Sports Park. We bought our tickets to ride the Xtreme zip line and the Quicksilver slide, and walked down to the lift. We rode up...
We decided to do the zip line first.
Strapping in...
I got some fun pics on the way down...
We rode the lift back up, and went to do the Quicksilver slide.
We got stuck behind a couple of kids who slowed down too much, so we didn't get the full effect. We decided to "bounce back", and do both rides again. We bought our bounce back passes, and headed back up. We wanted to do Quicksilver first...our first error in judgement. There was a minor accident on the track, so to follow protocol they shut the entire thing down..and the operator had already taken and torn our tickets, so no chance for a refund. We waited...and finally got down. It was a lot more fun the second time, we went full speed and didn't get stopped. We rode back up to ride the zip, but the line was suddenly long, and the storm clouds were rolling in...they put a "lightening hold" on the rides...we took cover in the ski jump building...and then the rain started POURING. We ended up riding a shuttle back down, and wandered the museum for awhile. Finally the rain lightened enough that we made a break for the car. We drove to a little outdoor shopping center...we would have liked to explore, but the rain made that impossible. We stopped at a great little bakery called Kneaders for a snack...YUM!!!! We went back to our hotel and relaxed, watched some TV, and I took a little nap.
We had been invited to a baby shower for my sister, thrown by her in-laws. It was in Salt Lake, and not to far of a drive, so we wanted to drive down. It was really fun...
By the time we got back to Park City, it was getting late, so we decided to call it a night.

Park City Mountain Resort is awesome. Sorry you got stuck behind slow kids. That seems to happen to everyone.
Jesse and I got the day passes when we went. We loved the Zip line!
Bummer the weather got bad.
I can't believe you're going to be an Aunt!!! You must be one excited big sister.
