Annual Homestead Whoorah!!!

Annual Homestead Whoorah!!!! This was my 30th year, John's 9th, and the tradition has been going 33 years. Every year is great for the family. Swimming, tennis, golfing, bike riding, more swimming, Park City Alpine slides, park, great food, cram a hundred people in one condo, and ongoing fun. Years past we have run into intense rain, but this year we were pretty lucky. The rain came at times no one really cared. In a lot of ways you can compare the Homestead to Hawaii. It does have the Heber Valley Volcano and mineral pools.

I think Mitch's third time swimming today



Part family picture, that was all that could fit on the bench


Park City Ski Resort, without the skiing today. We're headed up, to ride the slides down.


John and I raced down the hill with the kids on our laps. Mitch giggled the whole way down.


Mitch is crying because he cannot get the airplane to fly up (note to self...never tell him again the planes can go up if you pull the handle, until he is strong enough to pull it up). Funny thing is, his cousin (Stu) got on after him and the same thing happened to him. You would've thought we would have learned our lesson.
