Spring Break

We spent the first few days of Spring Break in Park City. It was fun! We shopped at the outlet mall our first day there. The highlight of the outlet mall was the Bose store. We went in and watched a short film about high quality audio in a home theater system, and then we found out how much it was(A LOT!). Since we watched the movie, they let us enter into a drawing to win one, so don't be surprised when we announce on April 16th that we won it. I'm sure we did, so soon we will have a new home theater system. You're all invited over to enjoy it when we get it. (Don't tell Chris we might not win. He is convinced that we have it in the bag.)

After the outlet mall, we went over to the historic district of Park City and walked up Main street. We spent most of our time in the art galleries looking at pictures. We also saw the painting done by the graffiti artist Banksy this year during the Sundance Film Festival. Here is Chris with it.


I had heard about this guy before, and I was excited to see it.

The next day, we went to The Utah Olympic Park. We spent some time looking through the museum, and then we went a guided tour. It was awesome! They took us to the bottom of the ski jumps, and then all the way up to the top of the luge track, the top of the bobsled track, and the top of the ski jump hill. It was SO STEEP! I can't even imagine going down that thing on skis. I'm not usually afraid of heights, but I would be scared to death to do that! Here are some pictures from the Olympic Park.





Saturday night, we were back home and we decided to color Easter eggs. I know we're not little kids, but it was fun! We bought the Tye-dye set and let me tell you, it was the most complicated Easter egg dying I've ever done. We had to take each egg, put it in a plastic bag, and use these little sucker straw things to suck up a little bit of dye and drop it on the egg, rub it all around using a bag, switch the egg to a new bag, add more color, and repeat until you were satisfied. We quickly found out that too many colors just turned the eggs brown. Only a few ended up ugly. Here are some of our eggs.
