On Labor Day, we took advantage of a 50% flash sale at the Utah Olympic Park. Jason and the kids are, not surprisingly, more adventurous and more coordinated than me, so they were super excited. The summer activities at Utah Olympic Park include extreme tubing, zip lines, ropes courses, and a 65 foot drop tower. Lots of climbing, jumping, and falling. And standing on scales and taking awkward harnesses on and off in front of lines of people with the help of teenage kids from Slovakia. All of my favorite things.
Obligatory bobsled shot.
The ziplines and the tubing were my favorite. Much to Dahlia's dismay, she wasn't old enough to do the taller, steeper tubing hill, so I stayed back with her while Jason and Mickey tackled it. I was perfectly ok sitting in the shade at the bottom of the hill to take pictures. The shorter hill was plenty fast for me.
I love a good selfie fail.
Drop tower. You think you want to do it until you're actually there standing on the edge of the platform where you just have to walk off and hope for the best. But we all did it together as our final activity of the day. What a rush! Great way to spend a day off. Especially if you can go home and eat ice cream and watch a movie after to recover.
