Our Anniversary Weekend

This past weekend, Bryce and I had a great time celebrating our 4th wedding anniversary. We left Friday morning and traveled up to Park City. Once a month, the city’s art center has a gallery stroll where, for a small fee, you can visit 21 of the local art galleries (mostly located on Main Street) and munch on yummy refreshments along the way. We got to see some original Picasso and Rembrandt studies and sketches and enjoyed all of the original artwork. I was pretty exhausted hiking up and down steep Main Street, but it was worth it.

On Saturday, we toured the Olympic Park and got to go up to the top of the ski jump runs. You’d be amazed how steep they are!

We spent Saturday afternoon/night and Sunday morning at The Johnson Mill, a bed and breakfast in Midway. Here’s me at a veteran’s memorial overlooking Heber and Midway:

One of the best parts of the Mill, for us anyway, was that we were able to fish on the property. Yes, Austins, I said fish. Bryce taught me how to knot on a lure, cast, and reel a fish in. We soon realized, when I caught my first fish, that I don’t particularly care for the actual fish. In fact, I made Bryce take my poll and I ran away from the squirming slippery fish while he removed the hook and threw it back in. By the end of our stay, I was a little more used to the fish, although I still didn’t want to actually hold one. Yuck. Here’s some scenes from our fishing adventures. This is the first fish I caught (and ran away from):

It was a really great weekend and we are so grateful to Angela and Brenda for tending Amelie for us!
