Acting Fancy

We headed over to Deer Valley one evening to visit the St Regis. The hotel is accessed by riding a funicular up the side of the mountain

The main reason we were there was for the free smores they have every night. While we were waiting for that to start, we wandered around the resort. I took Hudson out to see what cool cars were at the valet. When the valets found out Hudson was into cars, they invited him to check out the Maserati they had. They even suggest photo poses for him! They were nice guys and told him about the various cars they have parked. Hudson was most excited to hear about the Bugatti that visits every couple weeks!

Brooks found a 911 on the way back down.

We all enjoyed the smores, they even had peanut butter cups to make them with. We'd never thought of doing that before.

Happy Birthday Brooks!

10! You're in the double digits now, and there's no turning back. You will be starting 4th grade in a few weeks. You had an awesome summer swim season and set many new personal records. You've been reading a lot this summer and still like graphic novels. You are really into cars, and your favorite is the Mustang. You are a great big brother, and have had lots of fun and adventures with Hudson this summer. You've made many new friends this year, while still keeping the old. You are a blessing to all who know you.

Cheyenne

On the way to Utah, we spent a night in Cheyenne Wyoming. I honestly wasn't expecting much, but ended up being surprised by the city. It's the capitol of Wyoming, but small. The state capitol building was smaller than the county courthouse in Lafayette! The town had a cool cowboy meets hipster vibe.  We stayed at the Little America, which was a little old school, but really nice. We chowed down on steak for dinner, we were hungry after being in the car for 15 hours and after all we were in beef country. Next stop, Park City Utah!
