We had an awesome time in Park City!! Brett, Sarah and Scott and Britta joined us Sat. eve and we all went to church on Sun. The bishop took the stand to welcome everyone, but he welcomed the members which numbered about 85 in a congregation of visitors of about 500. It was cool! Everyone who got up to bear their testimonies remarked that they had never borne them to a "stake conference" before. Mon, the guys + Sarah pulled themselves out of bed early and were all excited about going fishing. They got their tackle, rented a fishing boat , got their licenses,etc. and sailed off into the wild blue yonder in search of fish. They trolled the lake about 4 hours, but alas! no luck! What made the whole thing worse is that they had to pay for parking!(togetherness is what counts anyway, huh?)(Sarah put up with alot up there)They were disappointed, but so were we--we had our taste buds all set for fish that nite!Amy and Nicole Tucker joined us on Mon. and we rode the gondola up to the lodge where they had a 'free concert' and then fireworks. (The gondola ride was fun--wind blowing in your face, but it didn't go fast enough!)Then down to Orem to a family picnic on Tues.Everyone had to go back to work, but Scott and Britta came up for awhile more. The weather was grand, Scott went on a mountain bike ride, Britta jogged, we were lazy. and everyone relaxed and enjoyed each other. We went swimming(but Gary wouldn't play 'imaginary tennis' with me) and then Thurs. Scott and Britta and us rode another(enclosed)gondola up the highest mountain; went hiking for a few hours , came back and relaxed the rest of the eve.It was a full week, but very enjoyable. Wish more of you could have been there.
