Sundance For the Day

Winter in Utah can be a drag. At first the snow is exciting and fun but it quickly becomes the most annoying thing ever. I don't even want to talk about it. Between the snow, the below freezing temperatures and the inversion layer it has been difficult to stay busy with Jack. We have had to pick up new hobbies and find new places to play (blogpost about that is in the works) so we don't spend hours and hours watching movies and destroying the apartment. While I do love watching movies, playing kitchen, building legos, and coloring; spending the entire day in the apartment without leaving gives me major cabin fever (yes, that is a Muppet Treasure Island reference).

Last week the Sundance Film Festival was up in Park City, which for us is about a 45 minute drive through the canyon, so we invited our friends to go check it out. It was the perfect day out, for several reasons. First, Park City is out of the valley, so out of the gross inversion layer. Second, it wasn't that cold and it wasn't snowing (hallelujah). And lastly, going to Park City during Sundance means your chances of meeting a celeb increase by A LOT (and I obvs love my celebrities). 

Of course we spent most of the time walking around Main Street. We went during the day so it wasn't super crowded, which was a good thing since the boys ran 10 feet ahead of us the entire time. Those rascals.

If you have ever been to Park City then you have probably taken a picture with the random bear on the bench. Of course we did too. Luckily when we arrived at the bear bench there was a really excited European girl standing nearby and she offered to take our picture. She ended up being a little crazy so after I got my camera back we quickly moved on. 

Besties.

Don't mind Jack's snarl.

Okay so preface for this picture - if you have ever been in my Mother's house or had a conversation with my Mother then you'll know she loves moose. It's weird, but true. Every family vacation we went on that involved anything outdoorsy Mother made us constantly be on the lookout for moose. It's her thang.

We took a picture by the moose wall in her honor.

Unfortunately we didn't run into any celebrities. It was totes disappointing. I had totally prepared myself to meet James Franco, Jospeh Gordon-Levitt and Guy Pierce. Too bad for them, I guess. Sundance was still fun and a nice change of scenery. At least now we get to look forward to an early spring!
