PARK CITY

I think we can all agree that some like it hot in Park City...

It has been years since I last went on the Alpine Slide-so this trip was dedicated to the magical feeling I get when I do something adventurous...hence, the beloved adventure at Park City Mtn. Resort. Recently opened  and new to the resort, is the ZipRider. Yes, it truly was an adventure. I highly recommend this little thrill.

Riding the chairlift to the top of the mountain...our faces told another story, so we opted for a different angle.

The Alpine Coaster

Alpine ZipRider...yes, we were harnessed in...nothing but a thin wire was holding us up.

Cole and Alex soaring down at an alarming rate of 45 mph

Park City LOVE. Picture perfect, Meems.

Bear hugs, anyone? I think it was hard for Cole to say goodbye to the icy, stone cold, hollow bear.

Way to go Alex..Take a bite out of crime??

 As for me, I couldn't help myself...

MODEL #1: Madame Tussad's wax version of "Russian Cole"

 MODEL #2:  A confused Cole, who can't decide between what he might look like bald, or if he were to try a more spicy hairstyle...one involving heavy doses of gel and other hair products.

DOIN' TIME IN HOLLYWOOD & HABITAT

 I had to capture this little beauty. We all know I love MJ. While in Hollywood, we traveled large and worked hard. We had the opportunity to do service with Habitat for Humanity, digging the foundation for a home that will soon belong to a couple and their children. This was truly an amazing experience. It was definitely hard, but I guess Hollywood made up for it, right?
