It's been officially one year since we moved to Utah. It's easy to remember this because one of the first things we did last year was attend the annual Tour of Utah. The Tour is a highly-prized six-day sporting event and festival with international significance. Some of the best professional cyclists in the world battle across the most beautiful terrain along the western Rocky Mountains in Utah. Stage 1 of the five stages is hosted in Ogden and the Ogden Valley. With three complete ascents of the infamous North Ogden Pass Road, racers will most certainly not gently ease in to the 2011 race. Included in the 116 mile, three-lap road race will be a clockwise tour of the lovely Eden Valley and Pineview Reservoir. After a gentle descent through Ogden Canyon the course will take in a quick circuit of downtown Ogden affording spectators multiple viewing opportunities before the race once again heads north to confront the nearly 3,000 foot climb out of the valley.
This first picture is of the police and other blocking off the road for the cyclists. We're situated right at a T in the road and had a great view!
The Ken and Judy (Oma and Opa) were the ones who invited Paton and I to join them for this play date with their grandchildren (Owen and Izzy). So when the racers passed, we went to the park right across the street and had lunch.
Izzy is exactly one day older than Paton, and the two of them got along great!
Here she's feeding Paton his milk.
Who needs a playground when you have bleachers?
That's exactly how Kevin lost his front teeth- playing on the bleachers and since you have a "danger Dan" on your hands, somehow I can picture Paton doing a head first swan dive off the bleachers. Could be wrong, but he does love to perform perilous acts that defy gravity.....
ReplyDeleteNana! I'm so glad you posted! Yes, we certainly do have a "Danger Dan" on our hands!
