| A very good Father's Day. Slept in then off to church. Afterwards we drove up to Snowbird just to find out that Beerfest was going on. So we did some tasting while the girls jumped on the bungee trampoline and then up the tram to the spectacular 11,000 ft view. After that it was off to Park City for a great dinner of bison at High West. After that met up with John for the Suicide Loop followed by a sip of one of the purchases made at High West. A very relaxing day and a great end to my summer vacation. |
