Quick visit to the Conferenece Center:

Park City

We went to Park City and did all the fun things: alpine slide and coaster and the zip line. The zip line was scary for the three seconds as they open the gate, and then it was fun.

This was Nathan's first time to Park City (or to Utah for that matter) and he loved the alpine coaster.

UP House

While in Utah, I went to the UP house. I wish I could live there! The details of each room were amazing and it was so fun :)

Park

There is a dog park right down the street, so we have been going to play. 

Here is Maestro playing with the big dogs. He is on the bench to give himself leverage.

There is also a stream by the park where all the dogs go swimming. Here he is climbing out of the water: 

Here he is in the water. He actually swam a bit in the 'deeper' part, but the water was a little cold so he didn't stay in very long. He had a good time though!

So tired after a long day:

Hi-ya!

Hiking in CT

Maestro and I are up in Connecticut for a few weeks while I work on some grad classes. Luckily, the place where we are staying has nice hiking trails a third of a mile away. Maestro and I have taken up hiking, and he loves it. So far we have seen turtles, deer, and little frogs.

Mom.....are you coming?

Can we go swimming?

Looking all around:
