Park City Mayhem

The Abel Family vay-kay to Park City was complete with swimming, shopping, good food, car problems through Parley's, and even a local celebrity. Last week we all packed up and headed to the poshest city in Utah. We did this last year and really enjoyed the chill time by the pool and opportunity for everyone to be together.

This fella really likes his grandma.

More rolls than a baker....We covered the legs to keep you from getting hungry!



Resting in the park

Is this the biggest, saddest dog you've ever seen? I wanted to lay Tag on top of him for a pic, but I overheard the owner say he'd never been to the vet.

Walking down main

Ok, here's what you've been waiting for! Here I am with Nadine Wimmer, our very own Channel 5 news anchor. She lives in Park City and was taking her two boys out for ice cream on the trolley. What a nice lady! We chatted it up with her on our ride down main.

Tag had constant attention from his cousins as you can see from the following pictures. I think he's going to be bored with just me from now on.








Here's where the car trouble came in. On Friday we were headed to the Salt Lake Temple for my dear friend Anna's wedding. The car overheated as we went over Parley's, so we had to blast the heat and drive 35 mph until we made it to the Temple. Then, as we tried to make it to Layton for the reception it continued to overheat, despite our efforts of adding coolant. We made it to Bountiful (again blasting the heat and 35 mph) and drove around to 4 different mechanics until we found one that would look at it on a Friday evening at closing time. Long story short, it is still not fixed, but after our poor boy being such a trooper in the hot, sweaty car, we gave him a nakers break at a Bountiful church before we headed to Layton in the same manner we'd been driving all day. Stinkin German vehicles!

Hey, thanks for the comment on my blog, I'm glad you updated yours. I've been secretly looking at it ever since the husbands chatted about "the blogs" at work! :) Yes, we should meet, Justin and I want to have a BBQ with his pals from work soon, maybe sometime in July. And by the way, your little guy is so cute, I love his name too!

I would have that I've had a small woman crush on Nadine Wimmer for the last couple of years. I am so jealous...
