ski jumping in park city.

a few days after cory's birthday we headed up to park city to watch our cousin ben's soccer tourney. {way to go ben and forza!}. because it was the arts festival up there, all the hotel rooms were pretty much booked or crazy expensive. so we ended up driving up there 3 days in a row. it was super fun to see ben play and have some other adventures along the way!  

mini golfing @ the canyons.

mabel was super excited she got a hole-in-one!

elsie was our little ball getter.


at one of the games. elsie was taking pics of ben playing on punky's phone.

connor loved this barn. he had me take this pic while we were driving by so he could draw it later.

checking out one of the heated lift chairs.

on the gondola.

the view from the other side of the gondola. connor was pretty excited he and ben got to go on their own!

one of the highlights for cory and connor was the ski jump lessons! they had a 2-hour session where they geared up to go off one of the ski jumps into a pool of water. connor went down 3 times and then was done. he did awesome and said he liked it afterwards. cory had tons of fun! i have to admit, it was pretty fun to watch him enjoy it so much! even though he was the only one above the age of 10!


getting ready for connor's first jump.

cory getting his first instruction on the jump.

getting up the stairs was pretty tricky.


one of cory's jumps.




this series is connor's last jump.






not sure he wants to do it again. timing is everything and he hit his head on his first 2 jumps and even though he had a good 3rd jump, he wasn't so sure after one of the girls started crying and refusing to go. he realized at that point that he could refuse to do it and he was done after that.
