The very first thing we did once we got to Park City was the Alpine Slide. It was a mixture or pure terror, extreme fun, and utter shock. All of us went super fast (except for the freak on the right.)<br />
<br />

On the way out of Park City, we stopped to find a letterbox.<br />
along with the letterbox we also found pure fun trying to climb the Olympic Circles (only two of them though). It was the perfect ending to a perfect trip in Park City.Three Little Smithshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11427372495364669090noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36750494.post-23395974177374938782012-05-28T17:51:00.000-06:002012-05-28T17:51:47.954-06:00Grizzly GulchToday we went on a hike up in Grizzly Gulch. It was hot out and by the end we were all tired, but it was so pretty!<br />

Crossing log bridges over a stream kept Harry busy for at least five<br />
minutes. I don't know what's wrong with him, or if he just thinks that crawling on logs over freezing water is fun.<br />

Can you see the snake in this picture? It's pretty hidden. It was super cool for all of us(except Norah.) Norah got really scared so we had to leave before we could get a better picture of it.<br />

We had lots of fun at the stream throwing rocks and playing Pooh Sticks. Harry and Dad climbed up onto the huge rock in the middle of the stream. Dad just stood there and Harry chucked rocks as far as he could. There is nothing better than standing on a rock in the middle of a freezing cold stream. Ah, what<br />
a life! <br />

Along the hike, we saw a lot of stuff horses left behind. The only thing we liked that the horses left behind was some hoof prints. The hoof prints didn't smell as much as the other stuff.<br />

This was the sign at the beginning of the trail, luckily we didn't see any bears. Norah was talking about how when she came here with her friend they didn't see any bears, so she was confident that there weren't any bears this time. The hike was super fun and really pretty, and we hope we can come again.Three Little Smithshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11427372495364669090noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36750494.post-56327656834458530202011-03-22T17:02:00.001-06:002011-03-22T17:02:48.104-06:00For Maren<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" bgcolor="#ffffff"><tr><td><a href="http://smilebox.com/play/4d6a4d324e6a59304d7a513d0d0a&blogview=true&campaign=blog_playback_link" target="_blank"><img width="386" height="303" alt="Click to play this Smilebox slideshow" src="http://smilebox.com/snap/4d6a4d324e6a59304d7a513d0d0a.jpg" style="border: medium none ;"/></a></td></tr><tr><td><a href="http://www.smilebox.com/?partner=smilebox&campaign=blog_snapshot" target="_blank"><img width="386" height="46" alt="Create your own slideshow - Powered by Smilebox" src="http://www.smilebox.com/globalImages/blogInstructions/blogLogoSmileboxSmall.gif" style="border: medium none ;"/></a></td></tr><tr><td align="center">Make a <a href="http://www.smilebox.com/" target="_blank">free slideshow</a></td></tr></table>Nadiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13300401000635912770noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36750494.post-72440029080818533592011-03-21T10:04:00.004-06:002011-03-21T10:15:40.498-06:00Birthday Season -- Part 1It's Birthday time here at the Smith house.

Ours doesn't quite look like the box said it would, but we had fun putting it together.<br /><br />Luckily we had extra coconut from when mom made her favorite carrot cake, so we fancied up the scene with a little coconut snow.

Provo really goes all out for the 4th, and this year it lasted 3 days. <br /><br />We enjoyed a lovely morning at the farmer's market, played with firecrackers, watched the Stadium of Fire from the roof of the van (that's how we roll), and had a BBQ and water fight with all the Smith cousins.<br /><br />We wrapped it all up with a great dinner at Aunt Anna's, decorated scooters and wagons, and then made our way to the Village of Fire and Kiddie Parade at Uncle Matt's. Check out how patriotic we are!<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KPb3olEulrA/TDtkBpOfR3I/AAAAAAAAAWE/l65b87lxetM/s1600/maren4th.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5493094149917722482" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KPb3olEulrA/TDtkBpOfR3I/AAAAAAAAAWE/l65b87lxetM/s320/maren4th.jpg" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_KPb3olEulrA/TDtkBXrHNwI/AAAAAAAAAV8/xnJsoH-rm8E/s1600/harry4th.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5493094145205942018" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_KPb3olEulrA/TDtkBXrHNwI/AAAAAAAAAV8/xnJsoH-rm8E/s320/harry4th.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KPb3olEulrA/TDtkBC8pwZI/AAAAAAAAAV0/6Mgmma2ZP70/s1600/norah+4th.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5493094139642364306" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KPb3olEulrA/TDtkBC8pwZI/AAAAAAAAAV0/6Mgmma2ZP70/s320/norah+4th.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div> </div></div></div>Nadiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13300401000635912770noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36750494.post-20786956699068625742010-06-29T08:51:00.000-06:002010-06-29T08:51:43.568-06:00Kids Say the Darndest Things<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_KPb3olEulrA/TCoH_yYBeUI/AAAAAAAAAVs/DLu9U20N4Ps/s1600/IMG_0609.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5488207888340056386" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_KPb3olEulrA/TCoH_yYBeUI/AAAAAAAAAVs/DLu9U20N4Ps/s320/IMG_0609.JPG" /></a><br /><div></div><div align="left"><div align="left"><span style="font-size:78%;">Three conversations that have taken place over the last little while.</span></div><br /><div align="left">1. <em>In the car, while driving up to Grandma's house on a Sunday afternoon.</em></div><div>Norah: (hands clasped dramatically on her chest) "Mom, Dad, I can feel my heart pooping, for real!"</div><div>Dad: "Do you mean 'beating,' Norah?"</div><div>Norah: "Oh yeah, 'beating' not 'pooping.'
