Hiking in Park City & LOTOJA

So...we've been pretty awful about posting anything lately...but we did just start residency a few months ago...GOSH! Yesterday and today we were busy with our ALSO course (Advanced Life Support in Obstetrics)

and Matt was on call last night. In all, we've having a great time, but a busy time :) Anyway, since we've updated last we have managed to have a little fun :)

For example, we went hiking in Park City:
We climbed and climbed and then took the ski lift down to the base of the run...sweet view, isn't it? (I made Matt hold on to me so I wouldn't fall off and break into a million bits.) It was fun but FREEZING and raining for the last mile of the hike...luckly, our friends brought a poncho (which I stole and made my own):
Sweet :)

A few weekends later, Dana, Elliot and I made up the support vehicle for Frank & John to ride the LOTOJA (a bike race from Logan, UT to Jackson Hole, WY). It all takes place in one LOOOOONG day, but there are some beautiful areas you drive through on your way to the Teton Mountains:

I'm pretty sure this would be an ideal place to live...mountains and water...who can beat that?!?! So, I called Matt and asked him to look for grown up jobs here :) I'll keep you updated!
Anyway, here's what Dana & I looked like when we were there:
So the other person in our car was John's son, Elliot. He's 7, so we had a lot of discussions of bugs and anything else I told him was gross (burping, vomiting, etc.) We also sang songs that we would make up to familiar tunes...mostly Indiana Jones. It was a pretty mature day for everyone involved :) Ooooh, and Elliot hated getting his pictures taken, so I did this:
He was so mad :) This is us waiting for Frank & John at the finish line. Here are some other race pictures from before, during and after the race:

John at the end...yay!

Park City

I've never seen a ski town (guess who is writing this post?!?) so last week after work we went to Park City and checked things out. It's pretty cool...little shops, tons of restaurants and a ski lift that picks you up right from the center of town. Anyway, since it's not ski season yet they have sweet deals on dinner...and we found a two-fer! Here's where we ate:
Aaaand because this is Utah, there are those pesky laws that make you have a "membership" before you can eat/drink in their establishment. Luckily, Frank & Dana had one...while they were looking up their membership info...we took a picture:Dinner was awesome-for the price of 1 set of ribs, we got 2! This is what we all looked like before eating dinner:
After dinner, we walked around a little bit more and I befriended a bear:
The end.
