This year for our family vacation we spent a week at a cabin in Timber Lakes, East of Heber City. We all had a lot of fun. The kids especially loved the pool table and the hot tub.
We spent one day at Olympic Park. We had a lot of fun going down the 2 Ziplines but that was mostly for the adults. The kids loved the Alpine Slide. Keegan and Kenya were able to ride with Conrad and I. They enjoyed controlling how fast we went. Kenya called it a train slide. Then, of course, the girls had to throw in a little shopping at the outlet mall.
There was a lot of 4-wheeling too. We were able to ride around on trails by the cabin. The best time to ride was right before the sun went down, the be-witching hour. We were able to see tons of deer, a few badgers, a cougar/mountain lion?, and 2 moose. Of course we never had our camera with us. Twice we rode around the Uintah Mountains on an all day ride. It was a lot of fun and very beautiful.
We took the kids on the Heber Creeper on a 3 hour ride through Provo Canyon. They were so excited...........until the train robbery, then they were all a bit nervous and scared. My sister-in-law Emma and her 3 girls were at the snack car at the time so Emma played up the robbery by having her girls hide behind a door. Then when one of the robbers came up behind them she told them to run. They all took off back to their seats screaming. Her 2 youngest girls were so scared they were crying. The youngest girl, Ashlyn, even said, with tears running down her cheeks "This is a dumb train!" The rest of us had a good time at their expense and shared a lot of laughs.
