Our Honeymoon! Day 3

It was going to be a busy day so we started it off with a great buffet breakfast! It had everything we needed and it was right next to the olympic park so it was perfect. This was the day that Brandon had been looking forward to for months and if you ask him years! We would be doing alot of olypian activites! We started off by going through the olympian museum.
After going through we went outside and watched some talented guys run some of the course!They were pretty amazing!


We could have tried to jump it for free but we didnt know that in advance so we didnt bring any swimming suits! After watching for awhile, we headed to do some of the activites! We started off with the Ultra zipline, then the alpine slide (which was so fun shockingly enough!)Then we headed to the Extreme zipline!
They were also fun and they were definately worth trying but next we went to have brandon do some bobsledding!!! Before he actually got in they had him help push a couple of bobsleds to get started.
He only had three in his four man bobsledd (Bob, Brandon, and the driver) but he said that it was the most intense thing he has ever done! He said you feel like you have something pushing you down and was so glad that he did it! It definately was a once in a life time experience! After we had done everything we could at the olymic park we headed to Outback Steak House!!I love the bloomin' onions and we had amazing food!! We got there about 3:30 so they were not open quite yet so we went to a store near by and found a little romote control boat that we bought to play with in the swimming pool! After dinner, we headed to the olympic oval in Salt Lake city for our Curling lessons!!! It was the first week of the season so we actually were the only ones there (there was suppose to be 75 other students) but it was great to be alone when learning how! We had a great instructor named Dale!! He was an olympic judge in the 2002 olympics and is amazing at it!We learned how to sweep in front of the stone, all the stats on the stones, how to score, how they judge...
How to use they special shoe you wear to slide how to balance, we were shocked how difficult it was but how much fun it was too!We learned alot an got pretty good here is some video of Brandon and I playing!!

After we had our private lesson with an olympic judge for two hours that we only paid $10 for we stopped at 7 eleven and got a slurpie and headed back to park city to get some rest we were so sore from playing but it was so much fun it was definetly worth the pain!

Okay, I'm such a dork (again) I was like "How did Carleen get such an amazing shot of Brandon skiing! She must have been skiing right in front of him with the camera!"
I'm a nerd.
