This Labor Day weekend the Powells travelled to Park City, Utah for the annual Powell/Cary/Rohde family get together. Park City is a place we have always wanted to visit, so we were all very excited.
Henry was great on the two flights there. However, upon arrival he was SO excited to see Nana, Papa, and the rest of the family, that he promptly fell into the corner of a chair with his face, resulting in the lovely band aid/gash/black eye you will see in all subsequent photos (probably for the next few weeks...). Here he is showing that he doesn't let a little thing like a face wound bring him down:
On Saturday we had a morning of fun in the mountains. Henry got to go on his first ski lift:
Then got to take the alpine slide back down:
He also got to try out the Alpine Coaster, which was a big hit:
After the thrill rides he got to try rock climbing in different forms:
Then we headed to Olympic Park to watch some freestyle ski jumping:
(I really need to start carrying my zoom lens with me...)
On Sunday we spent most of the day enjoying Main Street in Park City:
Where we enjoyed an art street fair and had lunch. Henry spent some time on a playground:
Then the Cary family helped him with his card shark skills:
While Mike, Patrick, Carrie and I went on a local "tour of homes" that was going on (unfortunately photography wasn't allowed. Too bad since these houses were absolutely amazing)
We had dinner on Main Street again:
Where Nana kept Henry well occupied despite the power outage that kept delaying things:
Then, it was back to Boston on Monday (with a 5 hour delay in DC that we will not speak of. Luckily, MIke had the genius idea to finally teach Henry "Angry Birds". The iPad saves the day!)
We had a great time, with the only flaw being that the trip was too short. As always we loved being able to get together with so many family members at one time - thanks to everyone for being there!
