Haunted Hollow & Park City

This past weekend 2 of my nieces, Selena & Tauna, and one great-niece, Tayley, came down to my place. One of the things we did was go to the Haunted Hollow. First of all I was so impressed to how brave 6-year old Tayley was! There were some true horrors in this hollow: the first true horror was the part where you couldn't see anywhere in front of you because of all the darkness and fake fog(about choked on it too)---I was leading and it seemed to go on forever---I just wanted to see where I was going instead of feeling my way around! The second true horror was the part where the path seemed to end, but there were 2 large black plastic balloon walls that you had to squish yourself through sideways---talk about claustrophobic--I thought it was never going to end--glad when it did finally end. Overall, it was not "scary" but it did bring some horror to my mind! So I guess it did it's job! The other thing we did was go to Park City to hang out. The most fun thing we did there was ride the Alpine Coaster! Your are taken up the mountain in a sled-like contraption, held in only by a seat belt. When you get to the top of the coaster, you push the levers down which make you go fast down the metal rods the sleds are connected to! It would twist and turn like a rollercoaster---I swear I was going to fall right out--but that was part of the thrill of it! The speed and "danger" of it, made it very exhilerating!  We all had a great time thrill-seeking, shopping and eating!!

45th birthday

I did something new for my b-day this year---I took off a day of work! I don't know why I haven't been doing that for the past 20yrs! But I will be doing it for the next 20!!! A new b-day tradition! Yea for me! I spent the day(and weekend) up in Logan. My sister, Diana, was down too. So my mom, Diana and I went clothes shopping--found a few things and we stopped in between at a movie theater so I could buy movie theater popcorn(love that stuff)!! Then that night David, Sherrie and their kids all came over for the fiesta! We had mexican food theme and you built your own salad, taco or quesodilla to eat. Then for dessert, I made a Haagan Daz tower of ice cream(with my fave, vanilla, on top with a candle)! Always good food and fun at my b-days! Makes it so it's not so bad to get a year older!
