My goodness!  Hard to believe it has been almost 7 weeks since our arrival in Park City – and a post here on the blog.  Park City truly is our home away from home, our second home, our home on the road – you get the idea;-)

Always one of the summer highlights is the 4th of July celebration.  Don’t think we have missed any (maybe 1 or 2??) parades in 22 years!!

Nothing like a small town parade on the 4th of July.

E’s favorite – FIREWORKS!!

Come to find out – Park City is also the escape for many of our new Vi neighbors!  So – there had to be a mini gathering of Vi-ites at Phyllis’s.  A lovely evening of good drink, food and visiting;-)

A very fine evening.  Thank you Phyllis (far left) for a wonderful evening.

There were also rounds of golf and lots of concerts, hikes, shopping and dinners with our new Vi neighbors – –

Golf at Crater Springs with our Scottsdale neighbor Gailyn.

Free concerts (and dinners) from the balcony of our friends condo in Canyons Village.

E goes out of her way to find trails that G can NOT easily fit through/under.

One wonderful result of having new friends who are also NEW visitors to the Park City area is that we have a fantastic excuse to revisit all the favorite haunts to show them off! Exactly what has been done in exposing Cay and Norris to the area.  There were a couple of short road trips to Kamas for a concert at DeJorio and up into the Uintas to wander along the Provo River and falls – – 

‘Kinda’ like a scene from Dirty Dancing????

A lot less water in Provo Falls than expected. Still a very enjoyable visit.

New friends from Vi, Cay and Norris, hiking the E&G way;-)

Beautiful scenery;-)

Of course, wildlife sightings are always a HUGE plus.  This evening walk around lower Deer Valley was very kind to us with a very fortuitous sighting of this guy just trying to cool off – –

Come on in – the water is fine!!

These weeks have flown by.  What might be in store for our few weeks left??

See you with more soon – E & G, happy (and cool) in Park City
