labor day weekend...

Labor Day weekend was a little slow for us. John and Eleanor got that horrible stomach bug that's been making its way around. Friday John took off work, and even though he and Eleanor weren't feeling so hot..we took a little drive up the canyon to Cascade Springs. John and I went there about 6 years ago and I remembered it being so pretty. A few years ago a there was a fire and so now its not quite as pretty, but it was still fun. Eleanor enjoyed taking a little dip in the water and watching all the butterflies.

Saturday we headed up to Park City to watch the Women's International Ski Jumping Festival at the Olympic Park. We were a little disappointed that they ended up canceling the competition because of the wind. Before they canceled it we were able to watch a few jumps and listen to Bryon Friedman and his band. We've been to competitions before, but this was the first time we actually got to sit on the landing of the jumps. Of course Eleanor was more interested in crawling on the landing then watching the jumping. Overall, we had a pretty good time even if the competition was canceled. I think just being there made both John and I pretty anxious for the slopes to open this season!
