Olympic Park




We were more than happy to join Shelly and Bryce in Midway and Park City for Friday and Saturday! Thanks for the invite! They were brave to allow Avery at their anniversary getaway. We had a great time together at the Olympic Park and learning about luge, skeleton, bobsled, and the nordic jump. We were fortunate enough to see some live skeleton-ers and nordic jumpers!! They start kids out on the nordic jump at 6 years old!!!! Who are their parents???? Anyway, it was all very fascinating and VERY COLD! Check out our videos...

Nordic Jumper... Looks like a piece of cake, right?


The Skeleton. Now you..... well, I would have said, "Now you see him, now you don't" but I only got to the "Now you" part. These guys fly down the track at speeds up in the 70's and 80's. Luge is when you go feet first. Skeleton is head first. Want to know more? Ask me!

Just keeping baby warm! She was giggling a lot. :)
