Saturday Fun

We decided to go for a drive up Guardsman Pass to scout for deer for Chris's hunt coming up next week. Unfortunately it started raining as we were making the drive up the mountain. We changed course and drove down through Deer Valley and decided to see if Olympic Park was open. Unfortunately the alpine slide and zipline were closed due to rain but we sure lucked out on our timing of going to the visitor's center. The Chinese National Aerial Team was practicing in the splash pool at the time and we got to see quite the show of some awesome ski jumping.

This is the scaled down ski jump that they launch off of...


Here is one of their best guys. I was able to take 6 pictures within 2 seconds and then composed them all together to see the whole jump he did...


We watched for quite a while and then decided to go inside the museum since it started raining pretty hard. Here is Alli running the Olympic torch...


Then she passed it off to Justin...


Then the kids decided to take on the 4 man bobsled...


We plan on going back next week when Chris's parents, brother, and Belgian aunt and uncle are here. Hopefully the fun stuff will be open and we can get our thrills in. Someday I plan on spending the money to ride the bobsled too...
