On July 25th we were treated to a performace by the Pink Pandas!
That night we went to a free show at Lagoon called "Cirque Innosta: L'orage". It was so amazing!! Click here to see someone's video from the show. A guy sitting behind us was also videoing, so it was kind of funny when Christian, not too quietly, asked during the contortionist segment, "Mom, why her in her nudie?"
It was too dark to take any pics of it, but I did get one of Tony & Buddy getting in a quick ride. Unfortunately, Faith had to use the restroom right after the show and all the rides were closed by the time we got back.
On the 27th we went to Farmington library for a free magic show with Christopher Fair. It was awesome and Christian even got to drop invisible coins in the can!
We roasted some s'mores on the 28th since I forgot the marshmallows when we were camping!
Here is our first zuchini on the 29th.
We went to Park City later that day. Here is a cute treasure hunt that mom did for the kids on the 30th. The boys (together) got a bottle with a puzzle inside and so did the girls.
The assembled puzzle was the first clue, and they soon found their treasure chests!
The morning of the 31st Grandpa took all the kids on his daily walk to the convenience store for his newspaper. They stopped by the fire station which is on the way and got a really great tour.
That afternoon we went to the alpine slide. Faith rode by herself and Buddy rode with Grandpa. The Pink Pandas had their public debut while we were waiting in line :)
That night we went to dinner at the Red Banjo on Main Street in Park City. It's very tiny in there and the kids ended up being at a separate table, across from the adults. It was a long wait for food, but the kids quietly entertained themselves. Halfway through our meal, an older couple from the table in front of us came over and said, "Those are the best behaved children I've ever seen!" I absolutely had to commemorate the moment with a photograph in the likely event that this is never repeated.
Quick story about the Red Banjo: when Faith was a tiny baby, Tony and I came to Park City with Tammy. We were sitting at the table in the bay window in front of the restaurant and had a lovely meal while we watched passersby on Main Street. Faith needed to nurse, so I used my handy-dandy nursing blanket (like the Hooter Hider or Udder Cover, but not as stylish. Every nursing mom must get one--it was my favorite thing ever!) As I sat there chatting, Tony finally looked up from his food and said, "Uh, Em, your boob is totally hanging out." I have no idea how long before that Faith decided she was done, unlatched and pulled the blanket aside, but luckily it was just at the busiest spot in Park City, in a bay window with views from three sides, and lit up like a Christmas display. My one and only public stripping experience. So far, anyway :)
