After I got home a mere 4.5 hours later, we got the gang together to go to the Utah Olympic Park. In the summer they have a Freestyle Show on Saturdays that features past, present and future Ski Team/Olympic team members jumping off the inverted jumps into a pool. There is also a museum featuring the 2002 Olympics and history of skiing in Utah. Here are some photos of Dekker in the bobsled and luge and a video of the jumping. Haydenne fell as sleep on the way over and spent the time at the Olympic Park sleeping in the stroller.
After the Olympic Park, we hit the Park City pool for about an hour and then got ready for the Deer Valley Concert Series. Tonight was Marc Cohen (of "Walking in Memphis" fame) and Aimee Mann (of 'til Tuesday "Voices Carry" fame). Aimee Mann was a bit lame and didn't even playing the ONE song everyone knows. She even did an encore and everyone thought it was going to be "Voices Carry" and it was just another lame song. Not that I love the song, but it's the only one anyone knows. For god's sake play the damn song. Marc Cohen was much better, but again we wanted to hear the ONE song we knew. "Walking in Memphis" is a great song. Of course, we didn't hear it until we leave. It got pretty cold and late and time to get the kids home. We hadn't even left the base area and we hear the first chords. We sat on a chair lift at the base of Deer Valley and listened to the song.
Deer Valley is a great place to hear music. We show Keb Mo and Bonnie Raitt last year. And believe it or not, I've been to TWO operas there with the Utah Symphony (work related).
You can pack in all the food and beer and wine you want. If you think Utah is dry, just come up to a Park City concert. Booze and wine fest. It's great. I'm beat and need to go to sleep.
