I never knew Park City could be so much fun...

Just as expected the Alpine Slide was fun, but it was nothing compared to the Alpine Coaster. For any one who is a thrill seeker this is the ride for you....you control the speed as you zip through the trees. Awesome. Kaylee and Warner were only passengers, but screamed "faster, faster" the whole way down. Tom was really sorry he had to miss it, but I guess duty calls.
My mom was too nervous to ride the coaster, and retreated behind the age old "I'll stay with the baby " line. But Xander was not disappointed, Grandma just couldn't say no and he hit the jackpot, with an ice cream cone, Cheetos, and a chocolate chip cookie, all at once!
Snow Cones... The perfect ending to a perfect day!

Xander has been getting into so much trouble lately and frustrating me to the core. I am spending all day, every day cleaning up after him, making it difficult to get anything else done. I finally realized that it is useless to get mad, because he sees himself as a scientist rather than a mess maker!



So in the spirit of discovery, here are some of his findings…..

16. A hair- straightener makes fun designs on the shiny side of a DVD, and erases the movie.

Xander and I were grocery shopping the other day, when he suddenly pointed and yelled "BAD GUY"! I tried to calm him down, but he got even more upset and stood up on the cart yelling it over and over, "BAD GUY, BAD GUY". I looked around to see what he was pointing at and there was an old woman, who, I kid you not, looked just like the witch from Fablehaven. She had small beady eyes, matted gray hair, and walked with a hunch (I'm pretty sure she was glaring too, which could have been due to the fact that she was being called "Bad guy" by a screaming toddler). I was embarrassed both for me and the woman who really was very witch like, but when I tried to quite Xan down he started trembling, I think he really was scared. But to tell the truth, I was little frightened myself. Who knows, she could have been saying a spell under her breath.

Kaylee and Warner are just 19 months apart and people when ask about how they get along, I always say that they are "best friends & worst enemies"! But lately there hasn't been a balance, the scales have been tipped toward the enemies side, and I have had enough!!! I could think of no better punishment than to have them spend all their time together. If Warner tattled on Kaylee, they both went to time out (since they're stuck, she couldn't go with out him). Kaylee quickly learned that it was in her best intrest not to tease, because he'd cry in her ear and bug her even more. They had to use teamwork to clean their rooms and take turns when feeding themselves. It was awesome! I hope this isn't considered chid abuse because I am stocking up on zip ties!
